Grizzly G8621 instruction manual Fence Adjustment Aligning The Fences

Fence Adjustment Aligning The Fences

The fence is a two-piece adjusting system. Each fence is independently adjustable to compensate for different cutting thicknesses and special shap- ing applications. Without any play, one turn of the knob moves the split fence approximately 5⁄64" (.078"). To adjust the fence:

1.Loosen the fence lock handle.

2.Turn the fence adjustment knob until the fence is set to the desired position.

3.Tighten the fence lock handle.

More detailed information concerning fence adjustments is covered in the “Straight Shaping” instructions.

The following procedure ensures that the fence is parallel with itself and square with the table.

1. Check that the bolts through the wood facing are tight on each side and are adequately countersunk.

2.To align the wood facing, adjust one or both fence halves so they are in close alignment. Micro-adjust and check the alignment with a straightedge as shown in Figure 27.

3.If the wood fences are not parallel with each other, shim the incorrect side with electrical washers. Normal washers may work, but electrical washers allow for fine adjustments.
