Have you tried rinsing your rice first to get some starch out?

Perhaps see if your blade guide rollers are spinning true. I could see them wearing out of round and introducing vibration.

Actually- does it vibrate without the blade, and then without the belt? You may be able to check if the motor shaft itself is running off axis by applying a fine tip marker to the face while it's running off belt. Moving the marker around a smidge will show you exactly where it is revolving around, hopefully dead center of the shaft.

I respect my table saw so much, I try not to bother it unless I need to.

I'll run an industrial tile saw mighty friendly-like no problem, but wood is different. I've done some stuff with my miter saw or router that I would've done better or faster on a Sawstop.

Did I read too much Stephen King at a young age if sometimes I think to myself "And as he lay there next to his hand and a static slowly filled his ears, he could still hear the saw happily spin just a little faster, a little smoother."

No, we haven't seen your Dad, I'm sure he'll be back from getting milk and smokes soon.

Only if you're trying to pull a fast one to obtain those awesome pitchers for yourself, otherwise no.

I am loving the down-home, made locally in the South, red white and blue everywhere marketing of a company founded by an American born to Dutch & Iranian parents who studied abroad in Rotterdam and got married on the French Riviera.

I also don't see a knife factory in their hometown, believe it or not Virginia Boys LLC, Virginia Boys Kitchens, Corporate Expansion Organizers International, Influxion Point, and Arousing Appetites are all simply registered to a $7million dollar house in Virginia.

Support local amirite?

Well, they called themselves the Trench Coat Mafia, that doesn't help.

Waterproof, not bulletproof, ain't no centimeter of rubber in a jacket.

GOTT their money's worth.
