—If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead side-to-side (Figure 75), loosen the two lock nuts on the right or left side of the cyl- inder liner. Adjust the set screws to raise or lower the table so it is parallel to the cutterhead.

—If the table is not parallel to the cutterhead front-to-back (Figure 76), loosen the two lock nuts at the front or back of the cylinder liner. Adjust the set screws to raise or lower the front or back of the table so it is parallel to the cutterhead.

Spring Tension

Roller spring tension must be adjusted so that feed roller pressure is uniform. Roller spring ten- sion will vary, depending on the type of wood you plane. This is usually determined from trial-and- error.

Generally speaking, less spring tension is more forgiving on workpieces. Therefore, if you primar- ily plane milled lumber with relatively consistent surfaces, you can get away with having less spring tension. Likewise, if you primarily plane rough lumber with inconsistent surface heights, more spring tension is a must to keep the workpiece feeding through the planer without stopping.

If workpieces regularly stop feeding during opera- tion, it may be a sign of weak spring tension.

To adjust feed roller spring tension:

1.Locate the four adjustment screws located on the top of the planer, as shown in Figure 78.

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.
