Grizzly G0513X, G0514X Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings, To adjust the upper and lower blade guides

4.Check to make sure the guide block assem- bly is perpendicular with the face of the sup- port bearing as illustrated in Figure 28.

—If the guide block assembly is perpen- dicular to the face of the support bearing, continue on to the next step.

—If the guide block assembly is not per- pendicular to the support bearing, loosen the guide block assembly cap screws and rotate the blade guide assembly side-to- side until the blade is perpendicular with the face of the support bearing, then re- tighten the cap screws. Note: The table must be re-aligned with the blade after the lower guide block assembly is adjusted. Refer to Page 30.

5.Loosen the cap screw on the support bearing adjustment shaft.

6.Place a 0.016" feeler gauge between the support bearing and the blade, and position the bearing 0.016" away from the back of the blade as illustrated in Figure 29 or use a dol- lar bill as shown in Figure 30.

7.Tighten the cap screw to keep the support bearing locked in place.

Guide Bearings

The blade guides provide side-to-side support to help keep the blade straight while cutting. The blade guides are designed to be adjusted in two ways—forward/backward and side-to-side.

To adjust the upper and lower blade guides:

1.Make sure the blade is tracking properly and that it is correctly tensioned.

2.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

4.Loosen the cap screw on the lateral adjust- ment rod and adjust the blade guides until the edges of the bearings are 1/16" behind the blade gullets as illustrated in Figure 33.

Note: The 1/16" spacing is ideal, although with larger blades it may not be possible. In such cases, adjust the guide bearings as far for- ward as possible to the blade gullets, and still maintain the proper support bearing spacing adjustment.
