DO NOT operate the Model G0495X without an adequate dust collection system. This jointer creates substantial amounts of wood dust while operating. Failure to use a dust collection system can result in short and long-term respiratory illness.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: 400 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of the dust col- lector, (2) hose type and length between the dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or pur- chase a good dust collection "how-to" book.

To connect the machine to a dust collector:

1.Fit a 4" dust hose that is connected to a dust collector over the dust port, as shown in Figure 11, and secure in place with a hose clamp.

2.Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off.

Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper per- formance.

The outfeed table height MUST be level with the carbide inserts when they are at top-dead-center. If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be tapered from front to back. If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.

To set the outfeed table height:

1.DISCONNECT JOINTER FROM POWER!

2.Move the cutterhead guard out of the way or remove it, and remove the V-belt guard.

3.Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends over the cutterhead and rotate the cutterhead pulley until one of the carbide inserts is at top-dead-center (TDC), as shown in Figure 12.

4.When correctly set, the carbide insert will just touch the straightedge when the insert is at its highest point of rotation (Figure 13).

G0495X specifications

The Grizzly G0495X is a versatile and powerful tool designed for woodworking enthusiasts and professionals alike. This hybrid table saw combines cutting-edge technology with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring precision and efficiency in every project.

At the heart of the G0495X is its robust 3 HP motor, which delivers exceptional power to handle even the toughest hardwoods with ease. This heavy-duty drive system ensures smooth and reliable performance, reducing the risk of motor burnout during extended use. The saw's belt drive system further enhances its capability, providing a high degree of torque for challenging cutting tasks.

One of the standout features of the G0495X is its large cast iron table. Measuring a generous 30” x 42”, it provides ample workspace for handling larger materials while ensuring stability and accuracy in cuts. The precision-ground surface of the table reduces friction, allowing for smoother movement of wood across the surface. Additionally, the table features an integrated T-style miter gauge slot, offering the user versatility for various cutting angles.

In terms of safety, the G0495X is equipped with several important features. The riving knife and blade guard help to prevent kickbacks, making it safer to use, particularly for novices. The easy-to-use height and bevel adjustment mechanisms allow users to make quick changes to the blade settings for different cut types.

The saw also incorporates advanced dust collection capabilities. With a 4” dust port, it connects to most standard dust collection systems, significantly reducing the mess and maintaining a clean workspace. This feature not only keeps the area tidy but also enhances the user’s visibility while working.

Another notable characteristic of the Grizzly G0495X is its versatility. This table saw can handle various cutting tasks, from rip cuts to crosscuts, making it suitable for a range of woodworking projects, including furniture making, cabinetry, and more. The built-in extension table and side wings also expand the cutting capacity for larger projects.

Overall, the Grizzly G0495X stands out as a reliable and powerful table saw equipped with premium features that cater to both amateur and professional woodworkers. Its combination of performance, safety, and advanced technologies makes it an excellent investment for anyone serious about woodworking.
