Grizzly G0555LX Adjusting Blade Guide Bearings, To adjust the upper and lower blade guides

Tip: To quickly gauge this setting, fold a crisp dollar bill in half twice (when folded tightly, four thicknesses of a dollar bill is approxi- mately 0.016"). Place the folded dollar bill between the support bearing and the blade, as shown in Figure 32.

Note: With wider blades, it may not be possi- ble to bring the guide bearings just behind the blade gullets. Position them as far forward as possible without allowing the guide bearing housing to touch the back of the blade.

The set of the teeth increase the chance of the bearings contacting the teeth during a cutting operation as the set of the teeth is wider than the blade. The support bearing must be set to prevent this.
