Setting Outfeed

Table Height

The outfeed table height MUST be level with the knives or carbide inserts when they are at top- dead-center. If the outfeed table is set too low, the workpiece will be tapered from front to back. If the outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of the outfeed table during operation, increasing the chance of kickback.

To set the outfeed table height:

1.DISCONNECT THE JOINTER/PLANER FROM THE POWER SOURCE!

2.Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it extends over the cutterhead.

3.Open the motor access panel and rotate the cutterhead pulley until one of the knives (or carbide inserts) is at top-dead-center (TDC), as illustrated in Figure 11.

4.Raise or lower the outfeed table until the knife (or carbide insert) just touches the straight- edge (Figure 12).

Cutterhead Guard

To install the cutterhead guard:

1.Remove the shaft lock knob and insert the cutterhead guard shaft into the bracket hole as shown in Figure 13.

3.Move the fence forward until it touches the cutterhead guard.

4.Thread the lock knob into the bracket so the threads fit into the shaft groove (Figure 13), and secure the guard into place. Adjust the guard and lock knob as needed so the guard fully covers the cutterhead.

5.Test the guard by pulling it back and letting go. The rubber dot on the guard should hit the fence when the guard comes back.

—The guard should snap back over the cutterhead without dragging across the table.

—If the guard drags across the table, raise it until it won't drag, then tighten the shaft lock.

—If the guard does not snap back, remove it and repeat Steps 1–3.

G0633/G0634 specifications

The Grizzly G0633 and G0634 models are two impressive machines in the realm of woodworking and metalworking equipment. Both models have gained a loyal following among woodworkers and metal fabricators for their exceptional performance, reliability, and innovative features.

One of the most prominent characteristics of the Grizzly G0633 is its robust build quality. Constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, this bandsaw promises durability and stability during operation, minimizing vibrations and ensuring clean, precise cuts. The G0634, an evolution of the G0633, offers enhanced features that cater to both hobbyists and professionals in various industries.

Both models boast powerful motors that ensure smooth and efficient operation. The G0633 is equipped with a 1 HP motor, while the G0634 comes with a more robust 1.5 HP option, allowing for deeper cuts and handling denser materials. This increased power translates to faster material removal rates and improved productivity on the shop floor.

The G0633/G0634 features a dual-speed function, allowing users to adjust the blade speed according to the material being processed. This flexibility is crucial for achieving optimal results on different materials, whether it's hardwood, softwood, or non-ferrous metals. Additionally, the blade guides on both models are precision-engineered, ensuring minimal friction and longer blade life.

Another standout feature is the large cutting capacity these machines offer. The G0633 provides a resounding 12 inches of throat depth, while the G0634 expands this to 14 inches. This increased capacity is a significant advantage for users tackling larger projects or working with oversized stock.

For user convenience, both models are designed with easy adjustments in mind. The quick-release blade tensioning system simplifies blade changes, while the height-adjustable table enhances user ergonomics. The tables are also made of high-quality cast iron, providing a stable surface for workpieces.

Incorporating advanced safety features, the G0633 and G0634 prioritize operator protection. Each model is equipped with a blade brake system that halts blade movement almost instantaneously when the safety switch is triggered. This is a critical function for preventing accidents during operation.

Ultimately, the Grizzly G0633 and G0634 stand out in the market for their excellent balance of power, versatility, and safety. With their outstanding cutting capabilities and engineered precision, these bandsaws are excellent choices for any workshop aimed at producing high-quality workpieces. Whether for a professional environment or a dedicated hobby shop, both the G0633 and G0634 continue to meet and exceed the expectations of craftsmen and creators everywhere.
