To operate the X-axis power feed:

 

1.loosen the X-axis table locks (refer to Figure 18 on Page 27 for locations).

2.secure the limit stops if needed to restrict table movement.

Note: Make sure the cap screws firmly secure the limit stops in place when positioned.

3.turn the speed dial all the way counterclock- wise to the slowest setting.

4.Move the direction knob to the neutral (mid- dle) position, press the feed/jog switch to the left (feed position), then push the ON button.

5.With your hand poised over the OFF button in case you need to suddenly turn the unit OFF, move the direction knob in the desired direc- tion of table travel.

6.use the speed dial to slowly bring the speed of movement up to the desired rate.

7.When you are finished using the power feed:

a.turn the unit OFF.

b.rotate the speed dial all the way counter- clockwise.

c.Move the direction knob to the neutral (middle) position to avoid unexpected table movement later.

To confirm the power feed settings that you will be using during operation, we recom- mend that you use the power feed to move the table through the intended cutting path before starting the spindle rotation and tak- ing the cut.

Head Movement

The head tilts 45° forward or backward, and rotates 90° left or right (see Figures 20–21).

Figure 20. Head tilted 45° forward.

Figure 21. Head rotated to the left.

G0747 and G0748 specifications

The Grizzly G0747 and G0748 are advanced metal lathes designed for precision machining and versatility, catering to both amateur machinists and professional workshops. These machines stand out in the realm of metalworking equipment, thanks to their robust construction and innovative features.

One of the key attributes of the G0747 and G0748 is their solid cast iron construction, which provides excellent vibration dampening during operation. This enhances stability and precision, crucial for producing high-quality machined parts. Equipped with powerful motors, both models are capable of handling a wide range of materials, from aluminum to harder metals like steel.

The G0747 features a variable speed drive system, allowing users to adjust the spindle speed based on the project at hand. This flexibility is beneficial for tasks that require different cutting speeds, enabling machinists to optimize cutting performance and tool longevity. Its variable speed output ranges, alongside smooth torque delivery, make it ideal for intricate turning operations.

On the other hand, the G0748 includes an advanced digital readout (DRO) system. This feature provides real-time feedback on the machine's position and speed, significantly improving accuracy in measurements during machining tasks. The DRO system allows operators to set precise limits and keep track of their progress, essential for complex projects where exact dimensions are critical.

Both lathes are equipped with a user-friendly interface, making them accessible for beginners while still offering advanced functionalities that seasoned professionals appreciate. They include multiple tooling options, allowing for an expansive range of machining techniques including turning, threading, and drilling.

Moreover, the G0747 and G0748 come with a comprehensive assortment of accessories, such as different types of chucks and tool holders, which further extends their capabilities. The ease of changing tooling and quick setup times are significant advantages for shops aiming for efficiency and versatility in their operations.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G0747 and G0748 metal lathes are exemplary units that balance power, precision, and user-friendliness. Their advanced features, such as variable speed capabilities and digital readouts, equip machinists with the tools necessary to produce exceptional work. Whether for hobbyists or industrial applications, these lathes are built to meet a variety of machining needs with impressive performance and reliability.
