Why aren't my cuts square with my Grizzly Power Tool?
- GGeorge GaySep 10, 2025
If your cuts aren't square with your Grizzly Power Tool, the fence is likely not perpendicular to the tables. Recalibrate the 90° fence stop.

Why does my Grizzly Extreme blade keep breaking?
If the Grizzly Saw blade is breaking or cracking, it might be due to several reasons. The blade tension could be too tight and needs adjustment. The blade might be incorrect for the task, so ensure you're using the right one. You may be applying too much pressure, so reduce the feed rate. Avoid cutting corners too sharply; use wider arcs or relief cuts. Other causes include a dull or worn blade, incorrect tracking, or misadjusted blade guides. Adjust the blade guides and support bearings properly to prevent the blade teeth from hitting the guides during cutting. If the blade is dull, worn, or has a faulty weld, replace it. Adjust blade tracking to correct it.
What to do if my Grizzly Extreme blade slows, smokes, or overheats?
If your Grizzly Saw blade slows down, smokes, overheats, or wears unevenly, several factors could be at play. First, the blade might be contacting the table insert; adjust the blade guides to eliminate side pressure and properly align the table. Misadjusted or worn blade guides can also cause this issue; adjust them or replace them if worn. Ensure the blade is installed correctly with the proper rotation. Reduce side pressure by feeding the workpiece straight into the blade. Check wheel alignment and adjust them to be coplanar. Also, ensure the fence is parallel with the blade. A dull or incorrect blade can cause these issues, so replace it. Lastly, a loose, worn, or slipping V-belt can be the culprit, so tighten or replace it if necessary.
Why are my workpieces rough or scored when using my Grizzly Extreme Saw?
If your finished workpieces are rough or show scoring when using the Grizzly Saw, several factors could be responsible. The blade may be overloaded, twisting due to too fine TPI, or being too narrow for the cutting task; decrease the feed rate and ensure proper TPI. The blade's TPI could be too coarse, or the tooth style might be incorrect; use the correct blade for the material and cutting speed. A loose blade can flutter, so properly adjust the blade tension. Incorrect blade tracking can also cause roughness, so adjust the blade tracking. If the blade has missing or bent teeth, or a faulty weld, replace the blade.
What causes the blade to track incorrectly on my Grizzly Extreme?
If the Grizzly Saw blade tracks incorrectly or comes off the wheels, consider these possible causes. The tracking might not be adjusted properly, so adjust the tracking. The wheels may not be coplanar, adjust the wheels to be coplanar. The blade tension could be too loose, increase the blade tension. Blade guides or support bearings might be too tight, properly adjust them. Avoid feeding the workpiece too fast, feed the workpiece slower. Using the incorrect blade for the operation can cause tracking issues, install the correct blade. A worn or dull blade can also cause problems, install a new blade and remove tension from the blade when not in use. Damaged or worn rubber tires or wheels can be the cause, replace them and remove tension from the blade when not in use.
What causes fuzzy grain when using my Grizzly Power Tool?
Fuzzy grain when using your Grizzly Power Tool can be due to the wood having a high moisture content or surface wetness; check the moisture content and allow the wood to dry if it's too high. Dull knives can also cause this issue; replace the knives.
What causes a loud repetitious noise from my Grizzly Power Tool?
A loud, repetitive noise from your Grizzly Power Tool can be caused by several factors. First, check if the pulley setscrews or keys are missing or loose; inspect, replace, or tighten them as needed. Second, the motor fan might be hitting the cover; adjust the fan cover mounting position, tighten the fan, or shim the fan cover. Third, a damaged V-belt could be the source of the noise; replace the V-belt.
What causes chipping when using my Grizzly Power Tool?
Chipping when using your Grizzly Power Tool can be attributed to several factors. It could be due to knots or conflicting grain direction in the wood; inspect the workpiece for these issues and use only clean stock. Nicked or chipped blades can also cause chipping; adjust one of the nicked knives sideways or replace the knives. Feeding the workpiece too fast or taking too deep of a cut can also lead to chipping; slow down the feed rate and take a smaller depth of cut.
What to do if Grizzly Power Tool motor will not start?
If the motor of your Grizzly Power Tool doesn't start, there are several potential causes. First, the thermal overload protection in the magnetic switch might have tripped. To resolve this, press the 'Reset' button on the thermal overload relay, which is located inside the magnetic switch. Second, there might be low voltage. Check the power line to ensure it's providing the correct voltage. Finally, there could be an open circuit or loose connections in the motor. Inspect all lead connections on the motor to ensure they are secure and properly connected.
What causes the miter bar to bind in the miter slot of my Grizzly Saw?
If the miter bar binds in the miter slot of your Grizzly Saw, it could be due to a dirty or gummed-up miter slot, carefully clean the miter slot. Another possibility is that the miter bar is bent, replace it.
