1.Make sure the locking gib is in the recessed pocket on the inside edge of the headstock opening. See Figure 8.

2.With the help of an assistant, lift the headstock over the top end of the column. When the underside of the headstock is lined up with the column, slide the headstock onto the column until it stops (approximately 2").

3.Screw two lock handles into each side of the headstock bracket. See Figure 8.

The headstock repre- sents a heavy load. Seek assistance before begin- ning this step.

Locking gib is located inside

the headstock in this location.

Handles

Three handles are supplied with the drill press. Thread them into the handle hub.

The drill chuck is attached to the drill spindle by means of a machined taper between the chuck and spindle nose. An almost permanent assem- bly is created when properly joined. To assemble the drill chuck and mount it to the spindle, care- fully follow the instructions below:

1.The drill chuck and spindle must be thor- oughly cleaned and dried before assembly. It is recommended that mineral spirits be used for this task. Refer to the safety warnings on the container of the mineral spirits. Failure to clean the mating surfaces may result in separation, and an unsafe condition. Separation is usually a result of oil or grease on the taper.

2.Use the chuck key provided to adjust the jaws of the chuck until they are well inside the drill chuck body.

3.Slide the chuck onto the spindle end and tap the end of the drill chuck with a rubber or wooden mallet to seat it. See Figure 9.

DO NOT use a steel hammer on the drill chuck to seat it onto the spindle. Damage will occur to the chuck and/or spindle which may make them unusable or unsafe.

retracted jaws.)

G7945, G7946 specifications

The Grizzly G7946 and G7945 are two exceptionally engineered tools designed for professional woodworkers and hobbyists who demand high quality and performance in their milling operations. These models are known for their robust construction, versatility, and precision capabilities, making them invaluable assets in any woodworking shop.

The G7946 model features a powerful 1.5 HP motor that provides ample power for handling a variety of milling tasks. The machine's table is constructed from high-quality cast iron, which not only offers stability but also helps to reduce vibration, resulting in smoother cuts. Measuring 36 inches by 5 inches, the table has ample workspace, allowing for the machining of larger workpieces with ease.

Equipped with an adjustable fence that locks firmly into place, the G7946 ensures that users can achieve accurate and repeatable cuts. The fence is also designed with a built-in scale for added convenience, enabling you to set up your cuts without the need for additional measuring tools. This feature streamlines the workflow and enhances productivity, making it ideal for both intricate detail work and bulk operations.

On the other hand, the G7945 model boasts a slightly different configuration but maintains a similar level of performance and precision. It includes a larger table for even more extensive projects, while its powerful 1.75 HP motor adds an extra level of capability for tougher materials. It features a quick-release mechanism which allows for easy adjustments, ensuring that you can swiftly transition between operations without interrupting your workflow.

Both machines come equipped with advanced technologies that enhance user experience. One notable feature is the integrated dust collection system, which keeps the workspace clean and contributes to a safer working environment. This system effectively captures wood shavings and particles, reducing airborne dust and allowing for maximum visibility while you work.

In summary, the Grizzly G7946 and G7945 are outstanding choices for anyone looking to upgrade their milling capabilities.
