Using the

Compound Rest

The compound rest is used to cut tapers on parts or to set the proper infeed angle when threading. It may also be used to cut specific lengths longitu- dinally, when set parallel to the spindle axis.

To set the angular position:

1.Loosen the hex nuts, one on each side of the compound rest (see Figure 28).

2.Rotate the compound rest to the desired angular position using the scale.

3.Tighten the two hex nuts. Be sure to not over- tighten, as you may strip threads or crack or distort the base casting.

Using the Tool Post

The four-way tool post (Figure 29) is mounted on top of the compound rest, and allows a maximum of four tools to be loaded simultaneously.

The four-way tool post allows for quick indexing to new tools. This is accomplished by rotating the top handle counterclockwise and then rotating the tool post to the desired position. Rotate the top handle clockwise to lock the tool into position.

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.
