4.Check to make sure the support bearing is positioned directly behind the blade.

—If the support bearing is positioned directly behind the blade, continue on to the next step.

—If the support bearing is not positioned directly behind the blade, loosen the trun- nion mounting cap screws and shift the trunnion assembly over until the support bearing is behind the blade.

Note: The table must be re-aligned with the blade if the trunnion assembly is moved. Refer to Page 23.

5.Loosen the cap screw on the support bearing adjustment shaft.

6.Place a 0.016" feeler gauge between the support bearing and the blade, and use the adjustment knob to position the bearing 0.016" away from the back of the blade (simi- lar to Figure 26) or use a dollar bill (Figure 27) instead of a feeler gauge.

7.Tighten the cap screw to keep the support bearing locked in place.

Adjusting Positive

Stop

An adjustable positive stop allows the table to easily return to 90° after tilting. After adjusting the positive stop to 90°, the pointer on the table tilt scale should be adjusted to the 0° mark to ensure that the table tilt scale is accurate.

To set the positive stop 90° to the blade:

1.Make sure the blade is correctly tensioned as described in the Blade Tensioning instruc- tions on Page 19.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

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.
