Headstock

1

The headstock must be mounted on the col- umn/base assembly before the drill press can be operated. Moving and installing the headstock is

atwo-person job, at the very least. Although the headstock can be lifted directly onto the column while upright, doing so is difficult and potentially dangerous because of the heavy weight involved. We recommend sliding the column into the head- stock, then tilting the entire assembly fully upright, as described and shown in this section.

The headstock is

very

heavy. You MUST

have

assistance when moving,

lifting or mounting

the

headstock on the column

and base assembly.

 

To mount the headstock onto the column:

1.Set the top piece of the headstock styrofoam packing approximately six feet away from the column/base assembly.

2.Remove the headstock from the box and place it on the styrofoam packing piece you laid out in Step 1.

Note: To avoid damaging the machine, be careful not to hold the headstock by the switch or the top part of the belt cover when lifting.

3.Carefully lay the column/base on its side.

4.Slide the column all the way into the bottom of the headstock (approximately 4"-6").

5.Tilt the entire assembly up (see Figure 12) and carefully position the drill press on its base in the fully upright position.

If the base starts to slide when tilting, you MUST have a third person hold the base from sliding to avoid personal injury or machine damage.

G7947, G7948 specifications

The Grizzly G7948 and G7947 are powerful, professional-grade milling machines designed for precision metalworking. These models cater to the needs of machinists and hobbyists alike, combining innovation with robust features ideal for various milling tasks.

The Grizzly G7948 is a vertical mill with a large working table, allowing users to handle bigger workpieces efficiently. It features a 2 HP motor, providing a spindle speed range from 50 to 3,000 RPM, enabling operators to tackle a wide range of materials and applications. The G7948’s dovetail column ensures stability and rigidity, minimizing vibrations during operation, which is crucial for achieving precision in milling tasks.

On the other hand, the Grizzly G7947 is a versatile combination of a lathe and a mill, perfect for those looking to maximize functionality in a smaller workspace. It also boasts a robust 1 HP motor, allowing for smooth operation with adjustable spindle speeds, enhancing its versatility. The G7947 is particularly user-friendly, featuring a quick-change tool post that facilitates faster tool swapping and changeovers, which is a significant advantage when working on multiple projects.

Both models come equipped with advanced features such as a digital readout (DRO) system that aids in precision measurements. The DRO provides real-time feedback on the machine's positioning, helping eliminate guesswork and ensuring accuracy. Additionally, the machines' power feed for the table enhances efficiency, making it easier for users to execute repetitive tasks without the strain of manual cranking.

Another notable characteristic of the Grizzly G7948 and G7947 is their user-friendly controls, designed with ergonomics in mind. The intuitive layout ensures that operators can easily navigate through the machine’s settings, allowing for quicker setup times and smoother workflow.
