Mounting to Shop
Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you mount your new machine to the floor. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included. However, you must level your machine with a precision level.
You may also mount your machine to a mobile base (see Figure 10) that has wheel locking or wheel retracting capabilities that keep the mobile base from rolling when the bandsaw is in use. We recommend using the Grizzly Model G7315 mobile base.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 9) and anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor- ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest you research the many options and methods for mounting your machine and choose the best that fits your specific application.
NOTICE
Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
