Checking/Adjusting

Jointer Table

Parallelism

The outfeed table is preset by the factory parallel with the cutterhead. However, it is critical to check this setting. If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or each other, then poor cutting results and kickback can occur.

Checking Outfeed Table Parallelism

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

2.Put on leather gloves, then remove the cutterhead guard and fence.

3.Place the straightedge on the outfeed table so it hangs over the cutterhead in one of the positions shown in Figure 52.

outfeed table is parallel with cutterhead.

4.Try to fit a feeler gauge or combination of feeler gauges 0.062" to 0.069" between the bottom of the ruler and the cutterhead body as shown in Figure 53.

—If the feeler gauge slides with slight resis- tance between the ruler and cutterhead and no gaps appear, go to Step 5.

—If the feeler gauge(s) do not fit between the ruler and cutterhead, or if there is a gap, adjust the table height until the feeler gauge slides with slight resistance between the ruler and table.

5.Continue placing the straightedge in the remaining positions shown in Figure 52. In each position, the feeler gauge measurement should be nearly identical.

—If the outfeed table height above the cutterhead is equal across the table in each position, then the outfeed table is already parallel with the cutterhead. Go to Checking Infeed Table Parallelism, on Page 40.

—If the outfeed table height is not equal across the table in any of the positions, then the outfeed table is not parallel with the cutterhead. Correct the outfeed table parallelism, then correct the infeed table parallelism.

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.
