do I need a stabilizer??

Yes.. I'm already on enough medications. Seriously, if I am using a
regular 1/8 kerf Amana combo blade on my Delta contracter saw and the
cuts look OK, no vibration, is there any advantage in using
stabilizers. I hate to have to make all new zero clearance inserts and
a new crosscut sled. Thanks much

There is a very old saying that covers the situation.

"If it ain't broke don't fix it"

short answer. no.

besides your max depth of cut will be reduced, if that's a
consideration for you, if you install a stabilizer, esp. a
5" diameter one.
