Mounting to Shop

Floor

We recommend that you mount your new dust collection system to the floor. Because floor materials may vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.

Bolting to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs (Figure 10) are two popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete floor. We sug- gest you research the many options for mounting your machine and choose the one that best fits your specific application.

NOTICE

Anchor studs are stronger and more per- manent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however, they will stick out of the floor, presenting a tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.

Clean Up

Clean Up

Some surfaces may be coated with a waxy oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus- based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts must be removed. For optimum performance from your machine, clean all moving parts or slid- ing contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based sol- vents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using any type of cleaning product.

Gasoline and petroleum products have low flash points and can explode or cause fire if used to clean machinery. DO NOT use these products to clean the machinery.

Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled. Minimize your risk by only using these products in a well ventilated area.

G7895—Grizzly Citrus Degreaser

This natural, citrus-based degreaser is a great solution for removing export grease, and it’s much safer to work around than nasty solvents.

NOTICE

Since your dust collection system will be hardwired to the power source, we strongly recommend securing your machine to the floor. Consult with your electrician to ensure compliance with applicable codes.

G0638, G0637 specifications

The Grizzly G0637 and G0638 are two robust woodworking machines designed to cater to both amateur woodworkers and seasoned professionals. These models stand out for their precision, durability, and versatility, making them ideal for various woodworking applications.

One of the main features of the Grizzly G0637 is its powerful 3 HP motor, which provides ample power for cutting through different types of wood with ease. This capability makes it suitable for heavy-duty tasks, including jointing and planing thick lumber. On the other hand, the G0638 model boasts a twin-knife cutterhead for enhanced efficiency, providing smooth finishes and improved stock removal rates. This feature is particularly useful for woodworkers who require high-quality outputs in less time.

When it comes to technology, both models incorporate advanced engineering principles to ensure operational stability. The Grizzly G0637 features a precision-ground cast-iron table designed for flatness, contributing to accurate results. This table is also fitted with an integrated dust collection system, which helps maintain a clean workspace by minimizing sawdust accumulation during operations. The G0638 model enhances this design with a spiral cutterhead, featuring multiple carbide inserts that provide a cleaner cut and longer life than traditional blades.

Another notable characteristic of both models is their user-friendly design. The height adjustment knobs are conveniently placed for easy access, allowing users to quickly adjust the cutting height without disrupting workflow. Additionally, both machines are equipped with oversized handwheels that enable fine adjustments, ensuring that every cut meets precise specifications.

Safety is another important aspect of the Grizzly G0637 and G0638 models. Each machine includes features such as anti-kickback pawls and blade guards, which promote safe operation while handling various stock types. The solid construction of these machines also minimizes vibrations, further enhancing stability and safety during use.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G0637 and G0638 represent the pinnacle of woodworking machinery, combining power, precision, and user-friendly features. Their innovative technologies and solid construction make them a valuable addition to any workshop, allowing woodworkers to achieve exceptional results in their projects. Whether you're jointing edges or planing surfaces, these machines are designed to enhance performance and elevate craftsmanship.
