G0640X 17" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

Cleaning

Vacuum cutting chips and dust from in and on the bandsaw, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If wood resin or lubricating oil has built up, use a resin dissolving or oil soluable cleaner to remove it. Once a month, remove the blade and thoroughly clean all built-up particles from the rub- ber tires on the wheels.

Wheel Brush

The bandsaw is equipped with a lower wheel brush. The brush should be checked daily and cleaned when it becomes dirty. There is an adjust- ment bracket that allows the brush to be adjusted for bristle wear. Refer to Adjusting Wheel Brush on Page 46 for adjustment details.

Lubrication

Tables, Fence, and Miter Gauge

After cleaning, wipe the unpainted cast iron sur- faces on the table, fence, and miter gauge with regular applications of metal protectant lubri- cants such as G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9 (see Page 39 for more details).

The Grizzly G0640X is a robust and versatile table saw designed for both professional woodworkers and hobbyists seeking to complete a variety of woodworking projects with precision and ease. Known for its durability and a variety of advanced features, the G0640X stands out in the marketplace for its exceptional performance capabilities.

At the heart of the G0640X is a powerful 3HP motor, which provides ample strength to cut through a wide range of materials, from hardwoods to engineered wood products. This motor is complemented by a dual voltage capability, allowing users to operate on either 120V or 240V power sources, which enhances versatility in different workshop environments.

One of the standout features of the Grizzly G0640X is its precision-ground cast iron table, which measures 30 inches by 48 inches.

The smoothness of the tabletop allows for easy movement of materials, reducing friction and improving overall accuracy during cutting operations.

The saw also includes an advanced blade-raising mechanism, allowing for easy height adjustments while providing precision in blade depth settings. The rack and pinion system for the fence enhances the ease of making accurate adjustments, ensuring that users can achieve precise cuts consistently.

Safety is a prime consideration in the design of the G0640X. The saw features a heavy-duty cabinet-style base that guards against vibrations, providing a stable cutting environment. Additionally, the inclusion of a blade guard and riving knife enhances user safety during operation, reducing the risk of kickbacks and injuries.

Another noteworthy aspect is the dust collection system integrated into the design, which helps maintain a cleaner workspace by effectively capturing sawdust and debris during cutting. This reduces cleanup time and promotes a healthier workshop environment.

In terms of mobility, the G0640X includes sturdy wheels and handles for easy transport within the shop or to job sites. Quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout the build, making it a reliable choice for those looking to invest in a long-lasting table saw.
