Grizzly G0695 owner manual Headstock Tilting, Tools Needed Qty, To tilt the head

Headstock Tilting

The head tilts from 45º right to 45º left (see Figure 22). However, the headstock can be tilted past 45ºR or 45º. If this is done, you will not be able to use the angle scale, and the headstock lock bolts may bind.

NOTICE

This mill is designed to operate with a right- left headstock tilt of 45º. To prevent head- stock binding and insufficient support, do not tilt the headstock to a full 90º. Binding occurs when one of the hex bolts on the side of the headstock (Figures 23–24) binds in the T-slot.
