Why Grizzly Drill doesn't start?
- L
  lisa32Jul 29, 2025
  If your Grizzly Drill doesn't start, several factors could be at play. First, check the plug for any damage and ensure it's wired correctly. Verify that the power supply voltage matches the circuit requirements. Also, inspect the wall fuse or circuit breaker to see if it's blown or tripped; if so, reset the breaker or replace the fuse after ensuring there isn't a short circuit. Examine the wiring for any breaks, disconnections, or corrosion, and repair or replace as needed. Check the spindle switch to ensure it's wired correctly, and replace it if faulty. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the motor wiring or the motor itself may be at fault and require testing, repair, or replacement.

What to do if Grizzly G0761 Drill stalls?
- J
  John ScottAug 7, 2025
  If your Grizzly Drill stalls or is overloaded, first decrease the feed rate and cutting speed. Ensure you're using the correct cutter for the task. If the machine seems undersized, use smaller or sharper tooling, reduce the feed rate or spindle speed, and consider using cutting fluid. If the motor has overheated, clean it off, let it cool, and reduce the workload. Check the motor wiring. Test the motor bearings by rotating the shaft; grinding or looseness indicates bearing replacement is needed. If problems persist, the motor itself may be at fault and require testing, repair, or replacement.

How to prevent breaking tools on Grizzly G0761 Drill?
- W
  William WallaceAug 11, 2025
  If you are breaking tools or cutters with your Grizzly Drill, adjust the spindle speed or use a slower feed rate. Use a larger cutting tool and a slower feed rate. Use coolant or oil for the appropriate application. Decrease the depth of cut. Fully retract the spindle and lower the headstock to increase rigidity.

Why does my Grizzly G0761 Drill workpiece vibrate?
- S
  sparkerAug 16, 2025
  If the workpiece vibrates or chatters during operation with your Grizzly Drill, ensure that the table locks are tight. Properly clamp the workpiece on the table or in a vise. Adjust the spindle speed or use a slower feed rate. Fully retract the spindle and lower the headstock to increase rigidity.

How to fix a hard to move table on Grizzly G0761 Drill?
- T
  Travis BakerAug 20, 2025
  If the table on your Grizzly Drill is hard to move, ensure that the table locks are fully released. Frequently clean away chips that load up during milling operations. Check that all table limit stops are not in the way. If necessary, adjust the gibs.

  bhartmanAug 25, 2025
  If the tool slips in the spindle of your Grizzly Drill, tighten the drawbar. Clean the collet and spindle taper to remove any debris. Lessen the depth of cut and allow chips to clear.
