Blade Selection

The Model G9743 uses 1041⁄2 x 1" bandsaw blades.

Selecting the right blade for the job depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of mate- rial being cut, hardness of the material, machine capability, and operator technique.

We suggest you do some research for your spe- cific situation so you get the best blade to match your needs.

Grizzly is proud to offer a variety of selections that can be found in the current catalog and in SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 26.

Cutting Fluid System

This bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system that extends the life of your bandsaw blades by lowering the temperature of the blade and workpiece and washing away chips.

See Cutting Fluid on Page 22 for more informa- tion.

1.Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign material that may have fallen inside the res- ervoir during shipping.
