Grizzly G0705 owner manual Mounting Options, Using the Included Leveling Bolt

Mounting Options

Before you place your machine on the cabinet, we recommend you consider the following options for leveling and mounting it. Deciding on a method for mounting and leveling before placing the machine on the cabinet will make the process much safer and easier.

Option 1: Use the included leveling bolts. The advantage of this method is that no addi- tional hardware is required. The drawback is that the leveling bolts have a small footprint and may cause damage on surfaces other than concrete floors. If you plan to place the machine on a non-concrete floor, consider Option 2.

Option 2: Use aftermarket machine mounts. These are readily available and their broad footprint disperses the load more evenly. Grizzly offers four sizes:

G7158—1-1/2" Dia., 800 Lb Capacity

G7159—3" Dia., 1600 Lb Capacity

G7160—4-3/4" Dia., 8000 Lb Capacity

G7161—6-1/4" Dia., 25,000 Lb Capacity

Option 3: Mount the machine to the floor. This ensures that the machine will not move dur- ing use, maximizing safety. Because this is an optional step and floor materials may vary, this type of hardware is not included with the machine.

Read through the following two pages to better understand the options and determine the one that best suits your needs.

2.Place the machine on the cabinet, using the methods described in Moving & Placing Machine on Page 22. Mount the machine to the base with the four M10-1.5 x 140 hex bolts.

3.Place a precision level on the table, then turn the leveling bolts as needed to level the machine. Once the machine is level, tighten the hex nut against the foot base to prevent the leveling bolt from turning.
