5.Rotate the motor to tension the V-belt, then tighten the motor mount cap screws.

6.Check the V-belt tension. When tensioned correctly, the V-belt can be deflected approxi- mately 3⁄4" (see Figure 45).

Blade Information

Selecting the right blade requires a knowledge of the various blade characteristics to match the blade with the particular cutting operation.

Blade Length

Measured by the circumference, blade lengths are usually unique to the brand of your bandsaw and the distance between wheels. The Model G0513 is designed for blades that are 1311⁄2" long and the Model G0514 is designed for blades that are 143" long. Refer to Page 36 for blade replace- ments.

Blade Width

Measured from the back of the blade to the tip of the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width is often the first consideration given to blade selec- tion. Blade width dictates the largest and smallest curve that can be cut, as well as how accurately it can cut a straight line.

The Model G0513 can use blades from 1⁄8" to 1" in width. The Model G0514 can use blades from

1⁄8" to 11⁄4" in width. Always pick the size of blade that best suits your application.

•Curve Cutting: Use the chart in Figure 46 to determine the correct blade for curve cutting. Determine the smallest radius curve that will be cut on your workpiece and use the cor- responding blade width.

G0514 specifications

The Grizzly G0514 is a top-tier bandsaw designed specifically for serious woodworkers and industrial applications. This machine is celebrated for its powerful cutting capabilities and precision, making it a vital tool for anyone looking to handle large projects with ease.

One of the standout features of the Grizzly G0514 is its robust 2 HP, 220V motor that provides ample power for cutting through thick hardwoods, softwoods, and even non-ferrous metals. This strong motor ensures a stable performance, enabling users to tackle various cutting tasks without worrying about overheating or stalling. Complementing this motor is a dual voltage capability, allowing users to switch between 120V and 220V power sources, making it incredibly versatile for different workshops.

The Grizzly G0514 also boasts a large 17-inch throat capacity, which translates to an impressive resaw height of 12 inches. This means that woodworkers can rip large pieces of timber or veneer with remarkable ease. The 14-inch blade length further enhances its cutting capabilities, providing smooth and clean cuts every time.

Another significant characteristic of this bandsaw is the precision-bearing blade guides. These guides ensure that the blade remains stable during operation, reducing blade deflection and enhancing the quality of cuts. The G0514 is equipped with a heavy-duty cast iron frame and base, which not only ensures stability and durability but also helps minimize vibrations—giving users a smoother cutting experience.

Featuring a rich array of technologies, the Grizzly G0514 is built with user-friendliness in mind. The quick-release blade tension lever allows for speedy adjustments when switching blades, maximizing efficiency. Additionally, it comes with a full-size table measuring 22 inches by 27 inches, providing ample workspace for larger projects.

Safety is paramount in woodworking, and this bandsaw is no exception, featuring a blade brake and an integrated dust port that helps maintain a clean work environment. The G0514 also comes equipped with a fence and miter gauge, enabling accurate cuts and angled woodworking tasks.

In summary, the Grizzly G0514 is an excellent choice for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists alike. With its powerful motor, vast cutting capacity, and user-friendly features, it stands out as a reliable and high-performance bandsaw in the market. Whether you’re crafting intricate furniture or simply doing home projects, the G0514 is designed to meet all your woodworking needs efficiently and safely.
