Site Considerations

Floor Load

Your lathe/mill is a heavy load (1200 lbs.) distribut- ed in a small footprint. Place this machine on con- crete floors only. The floor MUST be level, or the lathe/mill frame and ways may distort over time.

Placement Location

Consider existing and anticipated needs, ser- vice panel access, length of rods to be load- ed into the lathe/mill, and space for auxil- iary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your lathe/mill (see Figure 5 for minimum wall clearances).

Unsupervised children and visitors inside your shop could cause serious per- sonal injury to themselves. Lock all entrances to the shop when you are away and DO NOT allow unsupervised children or visitors in your shop at any time!

Clean Up

The ways and other unpainted parts of your lathe/ mill are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-based sol- vents such as brake parts cleaner, lacquer thin- ner, or acetone—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

Gasoline and petroleum products ignite easily. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Lack of ventilation while using these sol- vents could cause seri- ous personal health risks or fire. Take precautions from this hazard by only using cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.

G0492 specifications

The Grizzly G0492 is a versatile 12" dual-drum sander designed to enhance the woodworking experience for both hobbyists and professionals. This robust machine provides an exceptional combination of power, precision, and ease of use.

One of the standout features of the G0492 is its dual-drum design, which allows users to sand larger workpieces more efficiently than traditional single-drum models. This dual-drum configuration not only speeds up the sanding process but also ensures a more uniform finish. The machine supports a variety of sanding applications, making it suitable for different types of woodworking projects, from furniture making to cabinetry work.

Powered by a robust 3 HP motor, the G0492 delivers ample power to handle tough sanding tasks with ease. The variable speed control further enhances user flexibility, allowing for adjustments to accommodate varying wood types and grain patterns. This feature is particularly valuable when transitioning between softwoods and hardwoods, ensuring optimal sanding results.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Grizzly G0492 is its user-friendly design. The machine includes a built-in digital thickness gauge that allows for precise adjustments, ensuring consistent thickness throughout the sanding process. This not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of damaging the workpiece.

Additionally, the G0492 is equipped with a dust collection system that efficiently captures sanding debris, promoting a cleaner workspace and enhancing air quality. This feature is essential in maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment, which is often overlooked in woodworking.

Durability is a hallmark of Grizzly tools, and the G0492 is no exception. Constructed with heavy-duty steel frames and components, this dual-drum sander is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use.

In summary, the Grizzly G0492 combines powerful performance, ease of use, and advanced features into a compact machine that meets the demands of serious woodworkers. Whether you are a professional working on large projects or a DIY enthusiast looking to enhance your craftsmanship, the G0492 will elevate your sanding experience, making it a valuable addition to any workshop.
