Table saw blade taking a long time to stop spinning

[ajdiez]

This may be a dumb question. I recently bought a jet proshop 2 table saw. I’m loving it so far but I have one issue. When I turn off the saw it seems to take a really long time to stop. I timed it and from the moment I hit stop to the moment it fully stops is 10 seconds. Am I crazy or is this normal?
Thanks!

You being crazy or normal has nothing to do with it. You have a saw that has just about perfect bearings, motor to blade alignment, and belt tension. All of that is why it spins so freely. Be glad and most important be patient and wait for the blade to stop completely when you turn off the motor.

Thats good to know! Thanks

Just in case, check your blade nut for tightness. I had one get loose and it took nearly a minute to spin down.

I had an Oliver that took more than 60 seconds to wind down. It always made me nervous when other people were around - but I loved that saw. I have never used a better saw and wish I still had it.

i have a Delta contractor style TS that takes about 2 minutes to stop spinning

Ok. Just making sure. For some reason I thought there was some type of braking technology. I previously had an older delta contractor table saw it stopped very quick, but it was not a good saw. Thanks for everyone’s answer.
