Correcting Outfeed Table to Cutterhead Parallelism

This procedure involves turning the table stop bolts to raise or lower the front of the tables until they are parallel with the cutterhead.

To correct outfeed table parallelism:

1.Loosen the lock nuts on both stop bolts shown in Figure 54 at the front of the table.

2.Raise the stop bolts just enough so the front edge of the table is higher than the cutterhead, then adjust each stop bolt a sixth of a turn clockwise to gradually lower the table.

3.Check the outfeed table height again (see Steps 3-5, Page 39).

4.Continue lowering the bolts and checking until the outfeed table height above the cutterhead is equal across the table.

Checking Infeed Table Parallelism

1.Follow all the steps for checking the outfeed table parallelism to first make sure that the outfeed table is parallel with the cutterhead.

2.Place the straightedge halfway across the infeed table and halfway over the outfeed table, and adjust the infeed table even with the outfeed table, as shown in Figure 55.

—If a knife or insert touches the straightedge, turn the cutterhead so the knives do not interfere.

—If the cutterhead touches the straightedge, raise the outfeed table higher than the cutterhead.

3.Place the straightedge in the positions shown in Figure 56. In each position, the straight- edge should sit flat against both the outfeed table and the infeed table.

infeed/outfeed table parallelism.

—If the straightedge sits flat against both the infeed and outfeed table, then the tables are parallel. Set the outfeed table height and replace the cutterhead guard (Page 18).

—If the straightedge does not sit flat against both the infeed and outfeed table in any of the positions, then follow the Adjusting Table Parallelism instructions.

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.
