8.Raise the blade all the way up and adjust it to 90°.

9.Remove the stop screw on the left hand side of the rail, and slide the fence over until it just touches the blade.

10.Adjust the round rail mounting position on the table by rotating the adjusting nut on the far right stud (of the round rail) until the rip fence is parallel with the blade as shown in Figure 30. (See Figure 26 for a better view of all the round rail studs and adjusting nuts.)

11.Tighten the hex nuts on that stud to secure the rail to the table on that end (one of the nuts acts as a jam nut and tightens against the other one to keep the setting).

Note: Leave the center studs loose until the adjustments are complete.

12.Slide the fence to the middle of the round rail, and replace the stop screw.

13.Slide the fence back-and-forth across the round rail. Make sure the gap between the rip fence body and the table is equal along the entire distance—and that the micro adjust- ment knob engages at both ends of the rail when it is pushed down and rotated.

—If the gap between the fence and table is even—and the micro-adjustment knob engages—continue to the next step.

—If the gap between the fence and the table is NOT even—or the micro-adjustment knob DOES NOT engage—then loosen the nuts on both ends of the rail and repeat Steps 9–13.

14.Tighten all of the nuts securing the rail against the table (see Figure 31) and tighten the outside nuts against the adjusting nuts.

G0461, G0460 specifications

The Grizzly G0460 and G0461 are renowned woodworking machines in the arena of jointers and planers, designed specifically to meet the needs of both amateur woodworkers and professional craftsmen. These machines are celebrated for their engineering excellence, offering robust features and advanced technologies that facilitate precision in woodworking projects.

The Grizzly G0460 is a 6-inch jointer that is engineered for efficiency and accuracy, boasting a powerful 1 HP motor. This model is particularly suitable for achieving flat surfaces on wooden boards, with its precision-machined cast iron table providing an exceptionally smooth finish. The G0460's adjustable infeed and outfeed tables ensure optimal alignment, enabling users to handle both narrow and wide stock with ease. The jointer also features a convenient fence system that can be locked at a 90-degree angle or angled up to 45 degrees for bevel cuts, making it a versatile addition to any workshop.

In contrast, the Grizzly G0461 is an 8-inch version of its counterpart, offering increased capacity and capabilities for larger projects. With a similar 1 HP motor, the G0461 allows users to joint wider boards, making it ideal for serious woodworkers who demand higher performance levels. The machine's heavy-duty construction features a cast iron base and table, which not only add stability but also minimize vibrations during operation for enhanced accuracy.

Both models utilize helical cutter heads, which significantly improve the cutting experience. This technology employs multiple small, indexed carbide inserts that provide a smoother cut, reduce noise, and prolong the life of the cutter. The ease of changing the inserts enhances usability, making maintenance less cumbersome for users.

Moreover, safety features such as the blade guard are incorporated into both models, ensuring operator protection. The adjustable depth of cut allows for customized finishes, giving users control over the smoothing process.

In summary, the Grizzly G0460 and G0461 are exceptional tools that combine power, precision, and innovative design. Their capabilities cater to a wide range of woodworking applications, making them reliable choices for anyone serious about crafting fine wood items. Users will appreciate the blend of performance, ease of use, and durability that these machines bring to their woodworking endeavors. Whether tackling small projects or large production runs, the G0460 and G0461 stand as testament to Grizzly's commitment to quality in the woodworking machinery market.
