Aligning Table

To ensure cutting accuracy when the table is first installed, the table should be aligned so that the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade. This procedure works best with a 3⁄4" blade installed.

To align the table so the miter slot is parallel to the bandsaw blade:

1.Make sure that the blade is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Loosen the table mounting bolts that secure the trunnions to the table.

4.Place a straightedge on the table, so it lightly touches both the front and back of the blade.

Note: Make sure the straightedge fits between the teeth so the tooth set does not skew it.

5.Use a fine ruler to gauge the distance between the straightedge and the miter slot. The dis- tance you measure should be the same at both the front and the back of the table (see Figure 30).

with blade.

6.Adjust the table as needed for proper align- ment.

7.Tighten the table mounting bolts.

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.
