What to do if I can't remove a tapered tool from my Grizzly G0602 Lathe tailstock quill?
If you cannot remove a tapered tool from the tailstock quill of your Grizzly Lathe: * Ensure the quill is fully retracted into the tailstock by turning the quill handwheel. * Always clean the taper surfaces before inserting them into the quill to prevent debris buildup.
Why won't the chuck jaws move on my Grizzly Lathe?
If the chuck jaws on your Grizzly Lathe won't move or don't move easily, there might be chips lodged in the jaws. Remove the jaws, clean and lubricate the chuck threads, and then replace the jaws.
How to troubleshoot a Grizzly G0602 Lathe motor that will not start?
If the motor of your Grizzly Lathe won't start, here's what you can check: * Ensure the main power panel switch is ON. * Make sure the emergency switch is not pushed in; rotate it to pop it out. * Test the circuit for voltage and replace any faulty wires or connections. * The capacitor, motor direction switch, power switch, or magnetic contactor might be faulty and need replacement. * In the worst case, the motor itself might be at fault and require replacement.
Why is my Grizzly G0602 making a loud noise near the motor?
If you hear a loud, repetitious noise coming from your Grizzly Lathe at or near the motor: * Inspect the pulley setscrews or keys. Replace or tighten them if they are missing or loose. * Check if the motor fan is hitting the cover. Tighten the fan, shim the cover, or replace the items.
What to do if gear change levers will not shift into position on my Grizzly G0602?
If the gear change levers on your Grizzly Lathe won't shift into position, it's likely that the gears are not aligned in the headstock. Rotate the spindle by hand until the gear falls into place.
What to do if my Grizzly G0602 carriage won't feed?
If the carriage on your Grizzly Lathe won't feed or is hard to move: * Check if the gears are all engaged or broken. Adjust gear positions or replace if necessary. * The gibs might be too tight. Loosen the gib screw(s) slightly. * The screw on the feed handle could be loose. Tighten it. * The lead screw shear pin may have sheared. Correct the cause of the breakage and replace the shear pin.
Why is the operation of the cross slide on my Grizzly G0602 Lathe sloppy?
If the cross slide, compound rest, or carriage feed on your Grizzly Lathe operates sloppily, check the following: * The gibs may be out of adjustment. Tighten the gib screw(s). * The handwheel might be loose. Tighten the handwheel fasteners. * The lead screw mechanism could be worn or out of adjustment. Tighten any loose fasteners on the lead screw mechanism.
How to improve a bad surface finish on my Grizzly G0602?
A bad surface finish on your Grizzly Lathe could be caused by: * Using the wrong RPM or feed rate. Adjust accordingly. * Dull tooling or poor tool selection. Sharpen the tooling or choose a better tool. * Too much play in the gibs. Tighten them. * The tool being too high. Lower its position.
Why is the handwheel on my Grizzly G0602 hard to move?
If the handwheel on your Grizzly Lathe's cross slide, compound rest, or carriage feed is hard to move: * The gibs might be loaded with shavings or grime. Remove the gibs, clean the ways/dovetails, lubricate, and readjust the gibs. * The gib screws may be too tight. Slightly loosen them and lubricate the bedways. * The backlash setting might be too tight (cross slide only). Slightly loosen it by loosening the locking screw and adjusting the spanner ring at the end of the handle. * The bedways might be dry. Lubricate both the bedways and handles.
