Sliding Table

Parallelism

To adjust the sliding table parallel with the main blade:

1.Move the blade tilt to 0° (blade 90° to table), and raise the main blade as high as it will go.

2.Loosen the sliding table mounting nuts (refer to Figures 82–84).

3.Make a mark near the edge of the blade with a felt tip pen. This will allow you to take your measurements from the exact same place on the blade.

4.Using an adjustable square or a dial indica- tor, measure the distance (A) between the miter slot and the front of the blade as shown in Figure 85.

Note: Use a dial indicator for the most accu- rate results.

5.Rotate the blade 180° and slide the table with the measuring device to position (B) in Figure 85.

6.Measure the difference between the two positions (use the feeler gauge if using the adjustable square). Make note of the differ- ence between the two measurements.

—If the difference is less than 0.004" then the blade parallelism is correct.

—If the difference is greater than 0.004", then the sliding table needs to be adjusted. Continue with the next step.

7.Push the end of the table that is closer to the blade out half the distance noted in Step 6.

8.Repeat Steps 4-7until the gap between the blade and the sliding table is equal.

9.Tighten the table mounting nuts to secure the sliding table and replace the access plates.

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.
