Blade Guide

Bearings

The blade guide bearings are adjusted at the fac- tory but may need adjustment depending on the use of your bandsaw. Use Figures 46 & 47 to

guide you through the following steps.

Figure 46. Blade guide adjustments.

To adjust the blade guide bearings:

1.Before making adjustments, make sure the blade is tensioned and tracking correctly.

2.DISCONNECT THE BANDSAW FROM POWER!

3.Lower the bow until it makes contact with the horizontal stop.

4.Remove the blade guides.

5.The back of the blade should make light con- tact with the backing bearing.

—If it does not, loosen the two cap screws shown in Figure 46. Lower the blade guide until the back of the blade makes light con- tact with the backing bearing. Then tighten the two cap screws.

6.Loosen the set screw in Figure 47 to allow the eccentric bushing to turn.

7.Turn the hex nut on the eccentric shaft to adjust the distance of the guide bearing. The guide bearings and blade should make light contact or have a maximum clearance of 0.002".

8.Adjust the other eccentric blade guide bear- ing in the same manner.

9.

Adjust the carbide blade guides so they make

 

the same contact with the blade as the bear-

 

ings.

G0592 specifications

The Grizzly G0592 is a high-performance milling machine designed to meet the demands of both professional and hobbyist woodworkers. Known for its robust construction and precise engineering, this machine combines versatility with durability, making it an essential tool for any woodworking shop.

One of the standout features of the G0592 is its powerful motor, which offers a significant amount of torque, enabling it to handle a variety of materials with ease. The machine is equipped with a 3 HP motor that operates on 220V single-phase power, providing consistent performance for heavy-duty milling tasks. This high power helps to minimize stalling or bogging down during operation, ensuring smooth and efficient cutting.

The G0592 also boasts a generous working table made from precision-ground cast iron, measuring 9” x 49”. This extensive surface area allows for the handling of larger workpieces and offers ample space for stock support. The table is fitted with T-slots, allowing for easy attachment of jigs, fixtures, and clamping tools, enhancing the versatility of the machine.

Another notable characteristic is its adjustable dovetail ways, which provide enhanced stability and precision during operation. This design helps in maintaining alignment and reduces wear on the machine over time. Additionally, the G0592 features a variable speed drive that allows users to adjust the spindle speed from 60 to 4,000 RPM, accommodating various cutting applications ranging from heavy milling to delicate engraving.

The head of the G0592 is also a significant aspect of its design. It can be swiveled up to 90 degrees, facilitating angular cuts and increasing the range of milling operations possible. Moreover, the machine includes a digital readout (DRO) for both the table and spindle positions, providing real-time feedback and enhanced accuracy during operations.

Safety features, such as an emergency stop button and a protective enclosure around the spindle, are integrated into the G0592 to ensure a safe working environment. Overall, the Grizzly G0592 is engineered for those who value precision and performance in their milling tasks, making it a reliable choice in both professional and amateur settings. Its robust build, ample features, and user-friendly design distinguish it as a leading option in the milling machine market.
