Quality woodworking demands precise tolerances and clean cuts.
A bad cut can often mean the difference between success or the scrap pile. A
quick way to improve the accuracy of your table saw is to add a blade
stabilizer to dampen the vibrations caused by the saw's belt, bearings
and motor. Blade stabilizers are also sometimes referred to as blade
dampeners.
The
stabilizer is simply a metal disk that has been precision machined and
balanced to give an added amount of stability. The stabilizer works by
reducing rim vibration, giving you improved cutting performance,
quieter sawing, and extended blade life. Stabilizers are installed on
the saw's arbor and fitted directly next to the blade.
Do
not use on portable power saws and always follow the
manufacturer's installation instructions. Stabilizers reduce your
depth of cut and care should be taken to make sure they will not
interfere with the operation of the saw.
Blade
stabilizers can be purchased from most retailers of quality
woodworking blades.
