Blade Selection

The Model G0592 uses 132" x 1" bandsaw blades.

Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of material being cut, hardness of the material, material shape machine capability, and operator technique.

We suggest you do some research for your spe- cific situation so you get the best blade to match your needs.

Blade Speed

The Model G0592 has a variable speed control ranging from 98 to 394 feet per minute (FPM).

NOTICE

Only change speeds while the motor is run- ning. Changing speeds when machine is OFF may result in damage to your machine. Always make sure belt guard is in use.

Grizzly offers a variety of selections that can be found in the current catalog and in SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 28.

The chart shown in Figure 21 is a reproduction of the chart you will find on the blade cover of your G0592. Use it as a rough guideline.

To change blade speeds:

1.Turn the bandsaw ON and allow it to come up to speed.

2.Turn the speed adjustment knob (Figure 23), clockwise to decrease blade speed and counterclockwise to increase blade speed.

G0592 specifications

The Grizzly G0592 is a high-performance milling machine designed to meet the demands of both professional and hobbyist woodworkers. Known for its robust construction and precise engineering, this machine combines versatility with durability, making it an essential tool for any woodworking shop.

One of the standout features of the G0592 is its powerful motor, which offers a significant amount of torque, enabling it to handle a variety of materials with ease. The machine is equipped with a 3 HP motor that operates on 220V single-phase power, providing consistent performance for heavy-duty milling tasks. This high power helps to minimize stalling or bogging down during operation, ensuring smooth and efficient cutting.

The G0592 also boasts a generous working table made from precision-ground cast iron, measuring 9” x 49”. This extensive surface area allows for the handling of larger workpieces and offers ample space for stock support. The table is fitted with T-slots, allowing for easy attachment of jigs, fixtures, and clamping tools, enhancing the versatility of the machine.

Another notable characteristic is its adjustable dovetail ways, which provide enhanced stability and precision during operation. This design helps in maintaining alignment and reduces wear on the machine over time. Additionally, the G0592 features a variable speed drive that allows users to adjust the spindle speed from 60 to 4,000 RPM, accommodating various cutting applications ranging from heavy milling to delicate engraving.

The head of the G0592 is also a significant aspect of its design. It can be swiveled up to 90 degrees, facilitating angular cuts and increasing the range of milling operations possible. Moreover, the machine includes a digital readout (DRO) for both the table and spindle positions, providing real-time feedback and enhanced accuracy during operations.

Safety features, such as an emergency stop button and a protective enclosure around the spindle, are integrated into the G0592 to ensure a safe working environment. Overall, the Grizzly G0592 is engineered for those who value precision and performance in their milling tasks, making it a reliable choice in both professional and amateur settings.
