Power Feed Test Run

The mill comes with a power feed unit for X-axis table travel. Proper operation of the limit switch attached to the front middle of the table is criti- cal for the safe use of this power feed unit. If the power feed does not operate as expected during the following steps, disconnect it from power and contact our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663 for assistance.

To test the power feed:

1.Make sure all tools, cables, and other items are well clear of table movement as you fol- low these steps.

2.refer to the X-Axis Power Feed section, beginning on Page 28, to understand how the power feed, table locks, and limit switch function.

3.loosen the table locks on the front of the table.

4.plug the power feed power cord into a grounded 110V power outlet.

5.Make sure the power feed direction knob is in the neutral (middle) position, turn the speed dial counterclockwise to the lowest setting, then press the ON button.

6.turn the direction knob to the left, slowly turn the speed dial clockwise to increase the speed, then confirm that the table is moving to the left.

7.Watch for the table limit stop to hit the limit switch and turn the power feed OFF, stopping the table movement.

8.turn the direction knob through the neutral (middle) position and all the way to the right. The table should begin moving to the right.

9.Confirm that the table stops moving when the limit stop presses against the limit switch plunger.

10.Move the direction knob to the neutral (mid- dle) position, turn the speed dial to the lowest setting, and press the OFF button.

Congratulations! The Test Run of the mill is complete. Continue to the next page to per- form the Spindle Break-Inand Adjustments & Inspections procedures.

G0747 and G0748 specifications

The Grizzly G0747 and G0748 are advanced metal lathes designed for precision machining and versatility, catering to both amateur machinists and professional workshops. These machines stand out in the realm of metalworking equipment, thanks to their robust construction and innovative features.

One of the key attributes of the G0747 and G0748 is their solid cast iron construction, which provides excellent vibration dampening during operation. This enhances stability and precision, crucial for producing high-quality machined parts. Equipped with powerful motors, both models are capable of handling a wide range of materials, from aluminum to harder metals like steel.

The G0747 features a variable speed drive system, allowing users to adjust the spindle speed based on the project at hand. This flexibility is beneficial for tasks that require different cutting speeds, enabling machinists to optimize cutting performance and tool longevity. Its variable speed output ranges, alongside smooth torque delivery, make it ideal for intricate turning operations.

On the other hand, the G0748 includes an advanced digital readout (DRO) system. This feature provides real-time feedback on the machine's position and speed, significantly improving accuracy in measurements during machining tasks. The DRO system allows operators to set precise limits and keep track of their progress, essential for complex projects where exact dimensions are critical.

Both lathes are equipped with a user-friendly interface, making them accessible for beginners while still offering advanced functionalities that seasoned professionals appreciate. They include multiple tooling options, allowing for an expansive range of machining techniques including turning, threading, and drilling.

Moreover, the G0747 and G0748 come with a comprehensive assortment of accessories, such as different types of chucks and tool holders, which further extends their capabilities. The ease of changing tooling and quick setup times are significant advantages for shops aiming for efficiency and versatility in their operations.

In conclusion, the Grizzly G0747 and G0748 metal lathes are exemplary units that balance power, precision, and user-friendliness. Their advanced features, such as variable speed capabilities and digital readouts, equip machinists with the tools necessary to produce exceptional work. Whether for hobbyists or industrial applications, these lathes are built to meet a variety of machining needs with impressive performance and reliability.
