Machine Storage

To avoid rust problems or corrosion damage, use the following information to protect your invest- ment when storing the mill for any length of time.

•disCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!

•lubricate the mill as directed in the Lubrication section beginning on Page 44.

•thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal surfaces, then coat them with a light weight grease or rust preventative. Take care to ensure these surfaces are completely cov- ered but that the grease or rust preventative is kept off painted surfaces.

Note: If the machine will be out of service for only a short period of time, use way oil or a good grade of medium-weight machine oil (not auto engine oil) in place of the grease or rust preventative.

•loosen the belts to prevent them from stretch- ing during storage. Post a reminder on the mill that the belts need to be re-tensioned before resuming operations.

•Cover and place the machine in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint and plastic parts.

•At least once a month, start the mill and run all gear-driven components for a few minutes. This will keep the bearings, bushings, gears, and shafts well lubricated and protected from corrosion, especially during the winter months.

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.
