Basic Planer

Controls

This section covers the basic controls used during routine planer operations.

See Page 22 for a description of START/STOP/ EMERGENCY OFF buttons.

Table Height Handwheel: To move the planer table, rotate the table height handwheel (Figure 22).

Table Lock Lever: Turn the lever clockwise to prevent the table moving during planer opera- tions; loosen to move the table handwheel.

Table Height Scale: Read depth-of-cut from the inch/millimeter scale.

Change Lever: When the lever is in the "up" posi- tion this converts the machine to planer opera- tions.

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.
