- C
  Christopher LeeAug 23, 2025
  Blade or teeth breakage on your Grizzly Saw can be addressed by: adjusting blade tension; using the correct blade for your specific task; reducing the feed rate; employing a wider arc for outside cuts or relief cuts for tight inside cuts; replacing the blade; adjusting blade tracking; properly adjusting blade guides and support bearings to prevent guide contact with teeth; positioning the upper blade guide as close as possible to the workpiece; redressing rubber tires or replacing/re-installing them; aligning the table and fence with the blade; or replacing wheels and/or guide bearings.

How to reduce vibration and noise in my Grizzly G0555LX Saw?
- C
  Christopher DennisAug 26, 2025
  To address vibration or noisy operation in your Grizzly Saw: replace any damaged or missing bolts/nuts, or simply tighten them if they are loose; adjust the feet to stabilize the machine; replace the blade; inspect and, if needed, replace the belt, realigning the pulleys if necessary; secure the pulley on the shaft; tighten or replace components as needed; fix or replace the fan cover, and replace any loose or damaged fan; adjust or replace any faulty components; and test by rotating the shaft—rotational grinding or a loose shaft indicates bearing replacement is required.
