I recently purchased a bandsaw rated a best buy in Fine Woodworking. I am a novice woodworker, but it seems to me the unit vibrates too much. I called the manufacturer and their sole advice was bring it back and get a new one, not the simplest solution.

Taking into account this is a lower cost unit: What is too much vibration? I have tuned the unit using all of the advice from previous articles and I think it cuts well, I cut a scroll and compared the top to the bottom with 90 degree square and the cut was parallel, I have experimented with resawing full 6″ wide cherry board and I get a little drift, the cut thickness stays within an 1/8″ range. Am I expecting too much from this unit, the vibration is noticeable? What can I do to tune the vibration out?

Thanks
