Be sure that you extend the bare copper wire down all branches of the system. Do not forget to connect the wires to each other with wire nuts when two branches meet at a “Y” or “T” connec- tion.

Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If using plastic blast gates to direct air flow, the grounding wire must be jumped (Figure 22) around the blast gate without interruption to the grounding system.

We also recommend wrapping the outside of all plastic ducts with bare copper wire to ground the outside of the system against static electrical build up. Wire connections at Y’s and T’s should be made with wire nuts.

Attach the bare ground wire to each stationary woodworking machine and attach the dust collec- tor frame with a ground screw as shown in Figure

23.Ensure that each machine is continuously grounded to the grounding terminal in your elec- tric service panel.

Model G0562 specifications

The Grizzly Model G0562 is a versatile tool that has gained recognition among woodworkers for its robust features and advanced technologies. Primarily designed as a 16” band saw, it caters to both hobbyists and professionals, providing the capability to handle a wide range of cutting tasks with precision and ease.

One of the standout features of the G0562 is its powerful 2 HP motor, which ensures reliable performance and the ability to tackle thick hardwoods without stalling or compromise on speed. With a blade speed of 3,100 feet per minute, it allows for quick and efficient cutting, making it ideal for both resawing and intricate curves. The machine can accommodate blade widths ranging from 1/8” to 3/4”, providing users with the flexibility to choose the appropriate blade for their specific tasks.

The G0562 also incorporates an impressive 12” resaw capacity, a feature that significantly enhances its functionality. This allows users to cut thick pieces of wood into thinner slices, making it perfect for creating veneers or for those who wish to achieve more complex wood designs. The built-in adjustable fence ensures straight cuts, while the integrated miter gauge facilitates precise angled cuts.

Durability is a significant characteristic of the Grizzly G0562. It is built with a heavy-duty cast iron frame, reducing vibrations and contributing to stable operation. This not only prolongs the life of the machine but also improves the accuracy of every cut. Additionally, the saw features high-quality, precision ball bearings that contribute to smooth blade movement and extended longevity.

For safety and ease of use, the G0562 includes an oversized cast iron table that measures 16” x 24”, providing ample workspace and stability during cutting operations. The table is also tilt-adjustable, allowing for bevel cuts, which adds to its versatility. Furthermore, Grizzly has implemented an effective dust collection port, ensuring a cleaner workspace by minimizing sawdust accumulation.

In summary, the Grizzly Model G0562 is a well-engineered band saw equipped with a powerful motor, impressive resaw capacity, and built with durable materials. Its features cater to a broad range of woodworking projects, making it an essential addition to any workshop seeking efficiency, precision, and safety in their cutting tasks.
