Clean Up

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during ship- ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol- vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts may need to be removed. For opti- mum performance from your machine, make sure you clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo- rine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, as they may damage painted sur- faces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and could cause an explosion or fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use gasoline or petroleum products to clean the machinery.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be toxic when inhaled or ingest- ed. Lack of ventilation while using these sol- vents could cause seri- ous personal health risks or fire. Take precautions from this hazard by only using cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.

Site Considerations

Floor Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator.

Working Clearances

Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your new machine. See Figures 9 & 10 for the minimum working clearances.

G0514X3, G0514X, G0513X specifications

The Grizzly G0514X, G0513X, and G0514X3 are part of Grizzly Industrial's impressive lineup of band saws, engineered for woodworkers and metal fabricators seeking high-quality, precision cutting capabilities. Each model has distinct features, yet they share core characteristics that make them exceptional tools for professional and hobbyist use alike.

The Grizzly G0514X stands out with its powerful 2 HP motor, providing ample cutting power for thicker materials. It benefits from a 14-inch resaw capacity, making it capable of handling large workpieces effortlessly. A key feature of the G0514X is its cast-iron frame, which enhances stability and reduces vibration during operation. This model includes a 3-wheel design that allows for a greater cutting curve radius while maintaining a compact footprint. Additionally, it comes equipped with heavy-duty stainless steel guides and a dual tracking adjustment system, improving precision and blade longevity.

The G0513X, while slightly smaller in power with a 1 HP motor, does not compromise on performance. It also offers a generous 13-inch resaw capacity, making it an excellent choice for those who work with various wood thicknesses. The G0513X features an adjustable table that tilts, along with an easy-to-read scale for angle adjustments, providing flexibility for intricate cuts. Its sturdy construction ensures durability, while the variable speed control allows users to tailor the cutting speed based on material type, making it a versatile option for diverse woodworking projects.

The G0514X3 is a high-performance model that combines the best features of both its counterparts. Equipped with a robust 2 HP motor and a resaw capacity of 14 inches, this saw is designed for demanding applications. One of its standout technologies is the three-wheel design, which maximizes the throat depth while minimizing the space it occupies. The G0514X3 also includes premium ceramic guides, reducing friction and heat build-up during cutting, which extends blade life. A significant characteristic of the G0514X3 is its digital readout for blade tension, ensuring optimal operating conditions with minimal guesswork.

Overall, the Grizzly G0514X, G0513X, and G0514X3 represent the pinnacle of band saw technology, offering users powerful performance, precision, and advanced features tailored for a broad range of cutting applications. Whether for slicing veneer, resawing logs, or intricate metalwork, these band saws deliver the reliability and efficiency needed for any workshop.
