20.Adjust the rail pad against the rear rail until there is an even gap between the bottom of the fence and the table, then tighten the rail pad hex nut against the fence to secure the rail pad in place.

21.Slide the fence against the blade.

22.Place a straightedge across the table and line it up over the fence scale indicator line.

23.Move the fence out of the way and carefully make a pencil mark on the front rail, using the straightedge as a guide. This mark will be used to line up the zero mark on the scale in the next step.

24.Carefully install the scale on the front fence rail, so the 0" mark on the scale lines up with the pencil mark made in Step 23. Accuracy in this step is extremely important.

Note: After adhering the scale, you can adjust the position of the front rail slightly in either direction to increase the accuracy.

This saw creates substantial amounts of fine dust while operating. Failure to use a vacuum system can result in respiratory illness.

25.Fit a 4" dust hose or 4" adapter over each dust port and secure in place with hose clamps, as shown in Figure 17.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per- formance.

26.If cutting both wood and metal, connect this machine to a shop vacuum rather than a dust collector. Most dust collectors are not designed to capture metal shavings and doing so may lead to a fire from wood dust contacting hot metal cuttings or sparks from metal pieces hitting a dust collector impeller.

Mixing wood dust and metal cuttings may cause a fire. Do not collect metal shavings in a regular wood dust collector. Instead use a shop vacuum to collect metal cuttings.

G0640X specifications

The Grizzly G0640X is a robust and versatile table saw designed for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists seeking to complete a variety of woodworking projects with precision and ease. Known for its durability and a variety of advanced features, the G0640X stands out in the marketplace for its exceptional performance capabilities.

At the heart of the G0640X is a powerful 3HP motor, which provides ample strength to cut through a wide range of materials, from hardwoods to engineered wood products. This motor is complemented by a dual voltage capability, allowing users to operate on either 120V or 240V power sources, which enhances versatility in different workshop environments.

One of the standout features of the Grizzly G0640X is its precision-ground cast iron table, which measures 30 inches by 48 inches.

The saw also includes an advanced blade-raising mechanism, allowing for easy height adjustments while providing precision in blade depth settings. The rack and pinion system for the fence enhances the ease of making accurate adjustments, ensuring that users can achieve precise cuts consistently.

Safety is a prime consideration in the design of the G0640X. The saw features a heavy-duty cabinet-style base that guards against vibrations, providing a stable cutting environment. Additionally, the inclusion of a blade guard and riving knife enhances user safety during operation, reducing the risk of kickbacks and injuries.

Another noteworthy aspect is the dust collection system integrated into the design, which helps maintain a cleaner workspace by effectively capturing sawdust and debris during cutting. This reduces cleanup time and promotes a healthier workshop environment.

In terms of mobility, the G0640X includes sturdy wheels and handles for easy transport within the shop or to job sites. Quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout the build, making it a reliable choice for those looking to invest in a long-lasting table saw.
