Safety Instructions For Power Tools

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi-

tion. Conductor size should be in accor-

dance with the chart below. The amperage

rating should be listed on the motor or tool

nameplate. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Your extension

cord must also contain a ground wire and

plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-

sion cords if they become damaged.

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper

accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-

AL STARTING. On machines with mag-

netic contact starting switches there is a

risk of starting if the machine is bumped or

jarred. Always disconnect from power

source before adjusting or servicing. Make

sure switch is in OFF position before recon-

necting.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-

ther use of the tool, a guard or other part

that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intended function.

Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other conditions that

may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced.

21-30

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear

loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,

bracelets, or other jewelry which may get

caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear

is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-

ering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact

resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-

TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold

work when practical. It is safer than using your

hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN

TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running

a machine.

13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

cating and changing accessories.

21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR

UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-

ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to the

operation of the machine are approved,

correct, safe, and clearly understood.

Additional Safety Instructions For Bandsaws

1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR

BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades

require more effort to use and are difficult

to control. Inspect blades before each use.

7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL

SPEED before beginning a cut.

8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND

SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade

while cutting, especially when sawing

small radii.

2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR

THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.

Serious personal injury could occur.

9. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO

CUT METAL or other material except

wood.

3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW

WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND

BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.

10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW

BLADE except with the foot brake. Allow it

to come to a complete stop before you

leave it unattended.

4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure

teeth face down toward the table. The force

of the cut is always down. Make sure the

blade is properly tensioned after installing.

11. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS,

AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE

WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug

pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving

parts to come to a complete stop.

5. WORKPIECE SHOULD ALWAYS BE

FULLY SUPPORTED by the table or some

type of support fixture. Always support

round stock in a V-block.

12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE

HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits

in your shop and safety will become sec-

ond-nature to you.

6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY from

the blade while the saw is running. Plan

your cuts so you always cut out of the

wood. If you need to back the work out,

turn the bandsaw off or use the foot brake

and wait for the blade to come to a com-

plete stop. Do not twist or put excessive

stress on the blade while backing work

away. Inspect blade for damage such as

kinks before continuing to use it. Discard it

if necessary.

13. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-

ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE

INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING

THE BANDSAW! Then contact our service

department or ask a qualified expert how

the operation should be performed.

To operate this or any power tool safely and

efficiently, it is essential to become as famil-

iar with it as possible. The time you invest

before you begin to use your bandsaw will

be time well spent. DO NOT operate this

machine until you are completely familiar

with the contents of this manual or serious

personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be com-

plete. Every shop environment is different.

Always consider safety first, as it applies

to your individual working conditions. Use

this and other machinery with caution and

respect. Failure to do so could result in

serious personal injury, damage to equip-

ment or poor work results.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Model G0506/G0507

The Model G0506/G0507 Bandsaw is pre-wired

for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal

use, the Model G0506 2 HP motor draws approx-

imately 12 amps. We recommend a 15 amp cir-

cuit. This includes a 15 amp circuit breaker, plug,

receptacle and wiring rated for at least 15 amps.

Under normal use, the Model G0507 3 HP motor

draws approximately 22 amps. We recommend a

25 amp circuit. This includes a 25 amp circuit

breaker, plug and wiring rated for at least 25

amps. These circuits should be satisfactory for

normal use, while providing enough protection

Figure 1. Typical 220V 3-prong plug and outlet.

against damage caused by an overloaded circuit.

If frequent circuit failures occur when using the

bandsaw, contact our service department or your

local electrical contractor.

Be sure that your particular electrical config-

uration complies with local and state codes.

The best way to ensure compliance is to

check with your local municipality or a

licensed electrician.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own ded-

icated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any

other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is nec-

essary for use with the Model G0506/G0507.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a cord and

power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style

L6-25 plug and outlet similar to Figure 1. You

may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your

panel, provided you place a disconnect switch

near the machine. Check the electrical codes in

your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

Please refer to the wiring diagram on page 30 for

power hook-up information.

Model G0511

440V Operation

The Model G0511 Bandsaw is pre-wired for 3-

phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the 5

HP motor draws approximately 13 amps. We rec-

ommend using a 15 amp circuit, including a 15

amp circuit breaker, plug, receptacle and wiring

rated for at least 15 amps. If frequent circuit

breaker failures occur when using the bandsaw,

contact our service department.

The Model G0511 Bandsaw is furnished with a 3

HP 3-phase motor that can be wired to 440V.

Under normal use, this motor draws approxi-

mately 6.5 amps at 440V. If 440V operation is

desired, we recommend using a 10 amp circuit

that includes the appropriate wiring, plug and cir-

cuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur

when using the bandsaw, contact our service

department.

This bandsaw must be connected to its own ded-

icated circuit. It should not share a circuit with any

other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is nec-

essary for use with the Model G0511.

The bandsaw must be connected to its own ded-

icated 10A circuit. It should not share a circuit

with any other machine. A standard 3-pole break-

er is necessary for 440V use.

This bandsaw is not supplied with a cord and

power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style

L15-20 plug and outlet, similar to Figure 2. You

may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your

panel, provided you place a disconnect near the

machine. Check the electrical codes in your area

for specifics on wiring requirements.

We recommend using a NEMA-style L16-20 plug

and outlet similar to that in Figure 3. You may

also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your

panel, provided you place a disconnect near the

machine. Check the electrical codes in your area

for specifics on wiring requirements.

Please refer to the wiring diagram on page 31 for

power hook-up information.

If you convert the bandsaw to 440V, the stock

magnetic switch must be replaced with a dif-

ferent magnetic switch specifically for 440V

use. The 440 magnetic switch is not included

with your bandsaw.

Grounding

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension

cords on 220V or 440V equipment. It is much bet-

ter to arrange the placement of your equipment

and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for

extension cords. Should it be necessary to use

an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard

Service (Grade S) or better. Refer to the chart on

page 3 to determine the minimum gauge for the

extension cord. The extension cord must also

contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair

or replace extension cords when they become

worn or damaged.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for

electric current to reduce the risk of electric

shock. This tool is not supplied with an electric

cord. A cord with a plug with a grounding pin must

be wired into the junction box on the back of the

machine. Also needed is a matching outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding

conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The

conductor with green or green and yellow striped

insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If

repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug

is necessary, do not connect the equipment

grounding conductor to a live terminal.

We have covered some basic electrical

requirements for the safe operation of your

bandsaw. These requirements are not nec-

essarily comprehensive. You must be sure

that your particular electrical configuration

complies with local and state codes. Ensure

compliance by checking with your local

municipality or a licensed electrician.

This equipment must be

grounded. Verify that any

existing electrical outlet

and circuit you intend to

plug into is actually

grounded. Under no cir-

cumstances should the

grounding pin from any

three-pronged plug be

removed. Serious injury

may occur.

Under no circumstances should the grounding

blade from any plug be removed. If it will not fit

the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician. Repair or replace damaged

or worn cords immediately.

Check with a qualified electrician or one of our

service personnel if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if you are in

doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Use only extension cords that have grounding

type plugs and receptacles that accept the plug

on the machine.

Clean Up

Site Considerations

The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy

oil to protect them from corrosion during ship-

ment. Remove this protective coating with a sol-

vent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as

Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,

some parts may need to be removed. For opti-

mum performance from your machine, make

sure you clean all moving parts or sliding

contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-

rine-based solvents as they may damage painted

surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-

low the manufacturer’s instructions when using

any type of cleaning product.

1. Floor Load: The 18" and 20" Super Heavy-

Duty Bandsaws represent a large weight

load in a small footprint. Most commercial

floors are suitable for your machine. Some

residential floors may require additional rein-

forcement to support both machine and

operator.

2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and

anticipated needs, size of material to be

processed through each machine, and

space for auxiliary stands, work tables or

other machinery when establishing a loca-

tion for your bandsaw.

3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be

bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-

vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be

dedicated or large enough to handle amper-

age requirements. Outlets should be located

near each machine so power or extension

cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe

local electrical codes for proper installation

of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

Do not use gasoline or

other petroleum-based

solvents to clean with.

They have low flash

points which make them

extremely flammable. A

risk of explosion and

burning exists if these

products are used.

Make your shop “child safe.”

Ensure that your workplace

is inaccessible to children

by closing and locking all

entrances when you are

away. Never allow visitors in

your shop when assembling,

adjusting, or operating

equipment.

Do not smoke while using

solvents. A risk of explo-

sion or fire exists and may

result in serious personal

injury.

Many of the solvents

commonly used to clean

machinery can be toxic

when inhaled or ingest-

ed. Always work in well-

ventilated areas far from

potential ignition sources

when dealing with sol-

vents. Use care when dis-

posing of waste rags and

towels to be sure they do

not create fire or environ-

mental hazards.

3. Place the large hex bolt with washer through

the table trunnion mount and the trunnion.

The assembly should now look similar to

Figure 6.

DO NOT connect power

to the bandsaw until

instructed to do so.

Failure to do this may

result in serious person-

al injury.

Fence

Table

To mount the fence:

1. Loosen the lock knob and slide the fence

onto the rail.

The table for this bandsaw

is very heavy. Get help

when placing it on the

trunnion.

2. Slide the fence beyond the center of the

table so the blade can be installed without

blocking the fence as shown in Figure 7.

To mount the table:

1. Installing the table is easiest if the blade is

out of the way. Remove the blade by first

loosening the blade tension handwheel,

move the blade guide bearings (refer to the

section titled Blade Changes on page 25)

then by sliding it off the bandsaw wheels.

Wear heavy leather gloves to protect your

hands.

2. With the help of another person, lift the table

onto the trunnion.

Figure 7. Fence mounted on rail.

3. Please refer to the section titled Blade

Changes on page 25 to install the blade.

4. Tension the blade enough to keep it on the

saw so it does not spring off during the rest

of the assembly process.

Blade Guard

Blade Guides

Always adjust the upper and lower blade guides

away from the blade before removing, installing

or tracking a new blade.

The blade guard can be adjusted along the sup-

port rod to help facilitate adjustments made to the

blade guide assembly. The blade guard must

be adjusted to the lowest position on the sup-

port rod before starting the machine.

To adjust the blade guides:

1. Loosen the 4 knurled jam nuts (the upper

guide assembly is shown in Figure 11) that

lock the adjusting knob for the guide bear-

ings in place.

To move the blade guard:

1. Loosen the hex bolt shown in Figure 9 that

secures the blade guard bracket to the guide

post.

2. Rotate the knurled adjuster knob counter-

clockwise.

2. Move the blade guard up prior to making

adjustments to the guide bearing assembly,

or down, prior to using the machine.

3. Loosen the hex bolt for the back bearing and

slide it back. This will allow the blade to be

removed or tracked without interference.

3. Align the slot in the front of the guard with the

blade and tighten the hex bolt that secures

the it to the guide post.

4. After the blade tension and the blade track-

ing are set correctly, follow the “Guide

Bearing” and “Support Bearing” instructions

in this section for adjustment details.

Blade Tracking

Gullet Line

Before further adjustments can be made to the

guide assembly, the guide bearings must be set

even with the “gullet line.” This is the inside edge

of the gullets for the bandsaw teeth.

Always adjust the blade guides away from the

blade before making blade tracking adjustments.

The wheels on the Model G0506/G0507/G0511

Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws are crowned and

have rubber tires. This style requires center blade

tracking for proper operation.

To adjust blade guides to the gullet line:

Figure 13 shows the edge of the guide bearings

set even with the gullet line. A white line (A) has

been superimposed to the photo and the blade

guard has been moved for clarity.

To adjust blade tracking:

1. Open the upper wheel cover door. Slowly

rotate the upper wheel and watch where the

blade rides on the wheel. If the blade stays

centered on the crown of the wheel, then it is

properly tracked.

1. Loosen the hex bolt on the right side of the

guide assembly (B).

2. Move the assembly in or out until the edge of

the guide roller is even with the gullet. If the

back bearing interferes with this, loosen the

lock bolt (C) and slide it back.

2. If the blade does not ride centered on the

crown of the wheel, then spin the upper

wheel by hand and adjust the tracking hand-

Support Bearings

The support bearings support the back of the

blade during the sawing operation. The adjust-

ments that can be made to the support bearings

are lateral placement and backing placement.

Make sure the guide bearings are adjusted away

from the blade before making this adjustment.

the blade while making this adjustment and

do not over-tighten!

3. Tighten the large hex bolt in the center of the

table trunnion.

2. Tighten each of the jam nuts.

Ideally, the guide bearings should have 1 or 2

thousandths (0.001-2") clearance from the blade

and should not pinch the blade. The blade could

become hot and deformed if excessive pressure

is applied by the guide bearings. The system

employed by this bearing assembly will give

clearance for the blade when the jam nuts are

tightened. Make sure the jam nuts are tight before

starting the machine.

3. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and

place a 6" machinist’s square on the table

against the blade as shown in Figure 20.

Notice how far out of square your table is

and approximate this distance by adjusting

the positive stop up or down. Turning the

positive stop counterclockwise will raise it

and clockwise will lower it. Adjust the posi-

tive stop so the table will stop at a 90° angle

(square) to the blade.

The positive stop under the table (see Figure 19)

allows you to repeatedly square up the table after

adjusting the table to another angle.

To adjust the positive stop:

1. Loosen the large hex bolt in the center of the

table trunnion as described in the “Table Tilt”

instructions.

4. Lock the positive stop by tightening the jam

nut. Do not let the stop turn while tightening

the jam nut. Tighten the large hex bolt in the

center of the table trunnion.

5. Set the angle pointer to zero on the table tilt

gauge.

Foot Brake

Test Run

The Model G0506/G0507 and G0511 is supplied

with a foot brake. When used, power to the motor

is disconnected and as pressure is applied to the

pedal, friction forces the blade wheels to come to

a halt.

The rest of the adjustments in this section

require you to start the bandsaw. Before

starting the bandsaw, make sure you have

performed the preceding assembly and

adjustment instructions, and you have read

through the rest of the manual and are

familiar with the various functions and safe-

ty issues associated with this machine.

Failure to follow this warning may result in

serious personal injury or even death!

The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw

and upper blade guide assembly for height.

Blade Tension

Proper blade tension is essential to any cutting

operation on the bandsaw. Any time you change

blades or remove a blade, you must re-adjust the

tension.

If the blade does not cut properly, the tension

may be incorrect. Re-adjust the tension.

After setting the tension, make a note of what the

1. Adjust the upper and lower guide bearings

so the guide bearings are away from the

blade. Tighten the jam nut.

Keep in mind that blades will last longer if you

release the tension after every use. Also, new

blades will often stretch with use, and not all

blades will be exactly the same length. Use the

blade tension gauge as a guide for individual

blades.

2. Lower the upper guide block assembly to the

table and tighten.

3. With moderate tension already on the blade,

turn the bandsaw ON.

4. If you see the blade start to flutter, increase

the tension until the blade stops fluttering,

Fence Adjustment

Blade Lead

Sometimes the bandsaw blade will not cut

straight even when the fence and blade are par-

allel (see Figure 23). This condition is called

“lead.” Lead occurs (1) if the blade tension is

incorrect, (2) if the teeth are dull on one side, or

(3) if the teeth are set heavier on one side of the

blade than the other.

The fence slides along the rail for adjustment and

can be secured in place by tightening the star

knob located on the front of the fence.

If you notice that the fence is not parallel to the

blade, adjustments can be made where the rail

mounts to the bottom of the table.

If you determine that your blade is causing lead

problems, you should:

To adjust the fence so it is parallel with the

blade:

•

Checking/adjusting the blade tension

Replacing the blade

Sharpening the blade

Skewing the fence to match the lead

Attaching an after market or shop made

resaw fence attachment.

1. Get a 1" x 4" x 28" board. Joint one edge per-

fectly straight, or rip a narrow strip off the

length of the board with a table saw.

2. On the face of the board, draw a straight line

parallel to the jointed or ripped edge.

3. Slide the bandsaw fence out of the way and

cut free-hand along the line. Stop at the

halfway point. Turn the bandsaw OFF, press

the foot brake and wait for the blade to stop.

4. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table with-

out moving it. Now slide the fence over to the

board so it barely touches one end of the

board.

5. Loosen the two hex bolts that secure the

fence rail to the underside of the table.

6. Skew the fence left or right so it is parallel to

the edge of the scrap piece. You may need

to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to

gain maximum adjustment.

7. While maintaining the skew, tighten the rail

mounting bolts.

8. Make a few cuts using the fence. If the fence

still does not seem parallel to the blade, read

the “Blade Lead” instructions, or repeat

steps 1-7 until the blade and fence are par-

allel with each other.

keep hair pulled back.

Blade Length

Disconnect power to the

machine when perform-

ing any maintenance or

adjustments. Failure to

do this may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

Measured by the circumference, blade lengths

are usually unique to the model of your bandsaw

and the wheel diameter. The Model G0506 is

designed for blades that are 147⁵⁄8"-149⁵⁄8" long.

The Model G0507/G0511 requires blades that

are 160¹³⁄16"-162³⁄8" long.

Blade Width

Wear safety glasses dur-

ing the entire operation

process. Failure to com-

ply may result in serious

personal injury.

Measured from the the back of the blade to the tip

of the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width

is often the first consideration given to blade

selection.

A narrow blade can cut tight curves (a small

radius) but is not very good at cutting straight

lines, because they naturally wander (blade

lead). However, larger blades are much better at

cutting straight lines and this makes them a nat-

ural choice for resaw applications

Using this machine pro-

duces sawdust which may

cause allergic reactions

and respiratory problems.

Use an approved dust

mask to protect yourself

from dust hazards!

The 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws func-

tion best with blades that are ³⁄8" - 1" wide. Refer

to the current Grizzly catalog for prices and order-

ing information. Always pick the size of blade that

best suits your application.

Tooth Style

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read

books, trade magazines, or get formal train-

ing to maximize the potential of your

machine. The following section was

designed to give instructions on the basic

operations of this bandsaw. However, it is in

no way comprehensive of every bandsaw

application. There are many different jigs

that can be built to increase safety, accura-

cy, and types of cuts.

When selecting blades, another option to consid-

er is the shape, gullet size and angle of the

teeth—otherwise known as “Tooth Style.”

Figure 24 shows the three main categories of

tooth style.

per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother;

while fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut

faster, but rougher. As a general rule, choose

blades that will have at least three, but not more

than twelve teeth in the material at all times. Use

fine pitched blades on harder woods and coarse

pitched blades on softer woods.

Blade Care

Hook

Skip

Raker

A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that

is subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain

longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair

treatment and always use the appropriate feed

rate for your operation.

Be sure to select blades with the proper width,

style, and pitch for each application. The wrong

choice of blades will often produce unnecessary

heat which will shorten the life of your blade.

Figure 24. Raker, Skip and Hook blades.

•

RAKER — This style is considered to be the

standard because the tooth size and shape

are the same as the tooth gullet. The teeth

on Raker blades are usually very numerous,

have no angle, and produce cuts by scraping

the material; these characteristics result in

very smooth cuts, but at the same time do

not cut fast and generate more heat while

cutting.These blades also work well for cut-

ting curves.

A clean blade will perform much better than a

dirty blade. A dirty blade passes through the cut-

ting material with much more resistance than a

clean blade. This extra resistance will also cause

unnecessary heat. Maintain your blades with a

cutting blade lubricant like SLIPIT^®(Model

G5562/3 in the Grizzly Catalog).

Blade Breakage

•

SKIP — This style is like a raker blade that is

missing every other tooth. Because of the

design, skip toothed blades have a much

larger gullet than raker blades, and there-

fore, cut faster and generate less heat.

However, these blades also leave a rougher

cut than raker blades. Great for super

Heavy-Duty and ripping thin stock.

Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to

break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some

cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar

stresses that bandsaw blades are subjected to.

Blade breakage is also due to avoidable circum-

stances. Avoidable breakage is most often the

result of poor care or judgement on the part of the

operator when mounting or adjusting the blade or

support guides.

•

HOOK — The teeth on this style have a pos-

itive angle (downward) which makes them

dig into the material, and the gullets are usu-

ally rounded for easier waste removal.

These blades are excellent for the tough

demands of resawing and ripping thick

stock.

The most common causes of blade breakage are:

(1) faulty alignment or adjustment of the guides,

(2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve

of short radius, (3) feeding too fast, (4) tooth dull-

ness or absence of sufficient set, (5) excessive

tension, (6) top blade guide assembly set too high

above the work piece, (7) using a blade with a

lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld and

(8) running the bandsaw when not in use.

Tooth Pitch

Usually measured as T.P.I. (teeth per inch), tooth

pitch determines the size of the teeth. More teeth

Ripping

Stacked Cuts

Ripping is the process of cutting a wide board into

two or more narrower boards. The maximum

board width that can be ripped is limited by the

maximum throat dimension of the bandsaw.

One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to

cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stack-

ing a number of workpieces together.

Before making stacked cuts, it is essential to

ensure that both the table and the blade are prop-

erly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise, any error will be

compounded with each piece from the top to the

bottom of the stack.

For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most rip-

ping applications, a standard raker tooth style will

be sufficient. Also, since most ripped lumber will

be jointed smooth, you can choose blades with

fewer teeth-per-inch.

To complete a stacked cut:

To perform ripping operations:

1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to

ensure that each piece has adequate scrap

to provide a clean, unhampered cut.

1. The bandsaw must be adjusted correctly.

See “Blade Tension/Tracking” instructions

and “Fence Adjustment” instructions.

2. Secure all the pieces together using brad

nails through the waste portion or using

beads of hot glue across the outside edges.

2. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the

workpiece with a minimum amount of blade

exposed. Read instructions on “Blade Lead”

before making a cut.

3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on the

face of the top piece.

3. Use a fence to guide the work. Set the dis-

tance between the fence and the blade to the

desired width.

4. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the

workpiece with a minimum amount of the

blade exposed. One inch is ideal.

4. Support the ends of the board if necessary.

5. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline

of your intended shape in areas where

changes in blade direction could strain the

blade.

5. Feed the work slowly and evenly with the

straightest edge against the fence.

6. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were

cutting a single piece. Follow the layout line

with the blade kerf on the waste side of your

line.

Resawing

Do not force the wood into the blade during

cutting. This will distort the blade, cause

excessive heat and often results in blade

breakage. Breakage can cause abrasions,

cuts, or serious personal injury.

Resawing is the process of cutting the thickness

of a board into two or more thinner boards. Each

new board is the same width and length as the

original board, but the thickness is less. The max-

imum board width that can be resawn is limited by

the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.

When resawing, consider using an auxiliary fence

that is higher than the standard fence. This pro-

vides a more solid surface for the workpiece to

slide against. An auxiliary fence can be made

from any straight and flat piece of lumber and can

be bolted or screwed to the standard fence.

The most important consideration when resawing

is blade selection. When selecting a blade, keep

in mind that generally a wider blade makes cut-

ting a straight line easier.

When using a fence to guide the board, the actu-

al line of cut may not be exactly parallel to the

fence. This is due to a number of reasons involv-

ing the configuration of the table, condition of the

blade, the cutting forces, and the blade tension.

To correct this condition, refer to the “Blade Lead”

instructions.

In most applications a hook or skip tooth style will

work best. Also, since most resawn lumber will be

planed smooth, you can choose blades with

fewer teeth per inch (3 to 6). While blades with

fewer teeth per inch produce rougher cuts, these

types of blades offer larger gullet capacities for

clearing sawdust, they produce less heat, and

they yield more horsepower per tooth.

To resaw lumber, follow the procedure below:

1. The blade must be adjusted correctly for ten-

sion and tracking.

2. The fence must be parallel to the blade.

3. Adjust the upper blade guide so it is just

above the workpiece with a minimum

amount of blade exposed.

4. Use the widest blade that will fit your band-

saw. (Your saw has a 1" width capacity). The

blade must also be sharp and in good condi-

tion. Read “Blade Lead” instructions.

5. Use the fence to guide the work.

6. Support the weight of the board with infeed

and/or outfeed rollers, if necessary.

7. Feed the work slowly and evenly.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Miscellaneous

Always

disconnect

power to the machine

when performing mainte-

nance. Failure to do this

may result in serious

personal injury.

Always be aware of the condition of your band-

saw. Routinely check the condition of the follow-

ing items and repair or replace as necessary:

•

Loose mounting bolts

Worn switch

V-Belts

Worn or damaged blade

To ensure optimum power transmission from the

motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good

condition and operate under proper tension. The

belt should be checked for cracks, fraying and

wear. Belt tension should be checked at least

every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is

used daily.

Worn or damaged support bearings or guide

bearings

Table

To adjust the V-belt:

1. The V-belt is accessed via the bottom cover.

2. Squeeze the center of the V-belt.

3. Note the amount of deflection.

4. Deflection should be approximately ³⁄4".

The table and other non-painted surfaces on the

18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws should

be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the

saw clean after every use ensures that wood dust

is not allowed to trap moisture against bare metal

surfaces.

5. Loosen the bolts which secure the motor

support bracket to the back of the bandsaw

and pull the motor and bracket up.

To keep table rust free:

1. Use regular applications of products like

SLIPIT^®.

6. Tighten the bolts and recheck the tension.

2. For long term storage consider using prod-

ucts like Boeshield^®T-9. See the current

Grizzly catalog for complete list of these

products.

7. Make further adjustments if needed until the

belt deflects ³⁄4".

As for other items on this machine:

Lubrication

1. Wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth or

dry paint brush on and around the guide post

assembly.

The sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings on

most of the moving parts of this bandsaw require

no lubrication for the life of the bearings. These

bearings are standard sizes, and replacements

can be purchased from our parts department or a

bearing supply store.

2. Lubricate the guide post assembly with an

occasional “shot” of spray on lubricant.

Ensure that oil does not get on the pulleys or V-

belt because it could cause belt deterioration and

slipping.

The guide bearings do require oil daily or after

every 8 hours of use. They are supplied with a

detent ball valve for an oiling port and can be

oiled with a “squirt-gun” type oiler. We recom-

mend 10 wt. non-detergent oil.

Wheel Brush

The bandsaw is supplied with a lower wheel

brush. This may need occasional cleaning and

adjustment. It is advisable to check it once a day

and make sure that it is clear of dust and any

small bits of wood that may have become trapped

between it and the lower wheel. The mounting

bracket that secures it to the bandsaw body is

slotted for adjustments as the bristles become

worn. Please contact our parts department

should replacement become necessary.

Figure 26. Oiling an upper blade guide bearing.

To oil the guide bearings:

1. Clean all the oiling ports with a paper towel

or a clean rag.

data, parts diagrams/lists, troubleshooting guide

and Warranty/Return information for your 18" and

20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws.

If you need parts or help in assembling your

machine, or if you need operational information,

we encourage you to call our Service

Department. Our trained service technicians will

be glad to help you.

Additional information sources are necessary to

realize the full potential of your machine. Trade

journals, woodworking magazines, and your local

library are good places to start.

If you have comments dealing specifically with

this manual, please write to our Bellingham,

Washington location using the address in the

General Information section. The specifications,

drawings, and photographs illustrated in this

manual represent the 18" and 20" Super Heavy-

Duty Bandsaws as supplied when the manual

was prepared. However, due to Grizzly’s policy of

continuous improvement, changes may be made

at any time with no obligation on the part of

Grizzly.

Like all power tools, there is danger associ-

ated with the 18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty

Bandsaws. Use your bandsaw with respect

and caution to lessen the possibility of

mechanical damage or operator injury. If

normal safety precautions are overlooked

or ignored, serious personal injury may

occur.

We have included some important safety mea-

sures that are essential to the operation of this

machine. While most safety measures are gener-

ally universal, Grizzly reminds you that each

workshop is different and safety rules should be

considered as they apply to your specific situa-

tion.

The 18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty

Bandsaws were specifically designed for

wood cutting operations. DO NOT MODIFY

AND/OR USE THESE BANDSAWS FOR ANY

OTHER PURPOSE. Modifications or improp-

er use will void the warranty. If you are con-

fused about any aspect of your machine, DO

NOT use it until all your questions are

answered. Serious personal injury may

occur.

Operating this equipment has the potential

for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always

wear safety glasses or goggles when oper-

ating equipment. Everyday glasses or read-

ing glasses only have impact resistant lens-

es, they are not safety glasses. Be certain

the safety glasses you wear meet the appro-

priate standards of the American National

Standards Institute (ANSI).
