I recently bought an older (70s) Unisaw. I immediately had to replace the blade shaft since the threads were messed up. Previous owner would add washers as spacers in from the blade because you could not spin the nut all the way to the blade. While i was replacing this, i went ahead and replaced the bearings and the 3 belts. When i run the blade and stop the motor i almost feels like there is a break that stops the blade quickly. I am not sure if this is just the way it is supposed to behave or if i have over tensioned the belt or have done something else wrong. I have attached a video. Let me know if this is normal action. it also sounds and feels like there is excessive vibration during start-up, never mind that ringing after the blade stops
