Wheel Mounting

The wheel guard assembly must be removed in order to mount or dismount a grinding wheel. To do this:

1.Disconnect the grinder from the power supply!

2.Remove the 3 Phillips head screws and nuts that go through the outer guard. Take off the outer guard and the rim guard.

3.Use a wrench on the nut that holds the wheel on the arbor. Hold the wheel from turning with your other hand. Note that the wheel on the left-hand side of the machine is a left- handed thread, so loosening it will require turning it clockwise.

4.Remove the outer wheel flange and the paper disc. Pull the wheel free from the arbor. There will also be a paper disc and a wheel flange on the back side of the wheel.

5.Mount the new wheel in the reverse order or as shown in Figure 3. Always make certain there is a paper or fiber disc between the wheel flanges and the wheel itself. Tighten the nut snugly but DO NOT over-tighten. Over-tightening can crack the wheel.

6.Re-install the guards and shields.

7.Run a new wheel for at least 1-2 minutes while standing clear of the line of rotation. If a wheel does have defects it will generally fail as soon as it gets up to full speed.

Figure 3. Wheel mounting order.

NEVER assemble a grinding wheel on the arbor without paper or fiber discs between the wheel and the flange. Omitting the discs can put undue stress on the wheel, causing it to crack and possibly fall apart.

ALWAYS visually inspect and perform a “ring test” on a wheel before assembly. DO NOT use damaged wheels!

Grizzly G7299 and G7298 are both remarkable additions to the lineup of woodworking tools designed for professionals and creators. These models stand out due to their robust features and advanced technologies, engineered to enhance the efficiency and precision of various woodworking tasks.

The Grizzly G7299 is a 9" x 19" variable-speed metal cutting bandsaw that offers exceptional versatility. One of its main features is the adjustable blade speed, with options ranging from 80 to 280 FPM, allowing users to tailor the cutting speed according to the material being processed. The powerful 1 HP motor is another highlight, providing ample power for cutting through tough metals with ease. Equally, the G7299 is equipped with an easy-to-read digital display to monitor speed settings, enhancing user control.

For added convenience, the G7299 includes a large cast iron table which provides stability during operation. The table is also adjustable, enabling users to make angled cuts with precision. The built-in work light illuminates the cutting area, ensuring that users can see clearly even in low-light conditions. Safety is a priority with features like a blade guard and a quick-release tension mechanism for easy blade changes.

On the other hand, the Grizzly G7298 brings its own set of advantages as a high-performance 10" table saw. This model features a powerful 2 HP motor and a 30" rip capacity, making it suitable for larger projects. The G7298’s rack and pinion fence system ensures accurate and smooth adjustments, allowing users to achieve precise cuts consistently.

Additionally, the G7298 boasts a sturdy cast iron tabletop, which minimizes vibration and improves stability, thereby enhancing the quality of cuts. The integrated dust collection port helps maintain cleanliness in the workspace, conveniently connecting to most standard shop vacuums.
