What causes the blade to dull prematurely on my Grizzly Saw?
- B
  Brenda WallaceAug 16, 2025
  Premature dulling of your Grizzly Saw blade can occur if you're using the wrong blade TPI, applying improper feed pressure, or if the blade is twisted or slipping on the wheel. Additionally, if the guides are hitting the teeth, this can also cause premature dulling. Ensure you're using the blade with the correct TPI, applying the correct feed pressure, and adjust blade guide bearings and support bearing. If the blade is twisted or slipping, replace the blade and increase blade tension and clean wheel tire.

Why do the blade or teeth break/crack on my Grizzly Saw?

  Frances WilsonAug 19, 2025
  If the blade or teeth on your Grizzly Saw are breaking or cracking, several factors could be at play. It might be due to incorrect blade tension. The blade could be unsuitable for the task, or you might be applying too much pressure. Cutting corners too sharply, a dull blade, incorrect blade tracking, improperly adjusted blade guides, a faulty blade weld, or worn wheel tires can also cause this. Additionally, misalignment of the fence or miter slot, or bad bearings can contribute to the issue. Try adjusting blade tension, using the correct blade, reducing feed rate, using a wider arc on cuts, replacing the blade, adjusting blade tracking and guides, replacing tires, aligning the table and fence, and/or replacing bearings.

What to do if the blade tracks incorrectly or comes off the wheels of my Grizzly G0803Z?
- R
  Ronald GomezAug 26, 2025
  If the blade on your Grizzly Saw is tracking incorrectly or coming off the wheels, it could be due to several reasons. The tracking might not be adjusted properly, or the wheels might not be coplanar. Other potential causes include loose blade tension, blade guides being too tight, feeding the workpiece too fast, using the incorrect blade, a bell-mouthed or dull blade, or damaged wheel tires. Ensure the tracking is properly adjusted, the wheels are coplanar, the blade tension is correct, the blade guides are properly adjusted, the workpiece is fed slower, the correct blade is installed, and the wheel tires are in good condition.

Why does the blade slow, smoke, overheat, or wear on one side on my Grizzly G0803Z?
- D
  Daniel MathisAug 28, 2025
  If your Grizzly Saw blade slows, smokes, overheats, or wears unevenly, it could be due to excessive side pressure while feeding the workpiece, or the blade contacting the table insert. Other potential causes include worn or misadjusted blade guides, insufficient blade support, the blade being installed backward, misaligned wheels, or a dull or incorrect blade. A bell-mouthed blade or a fence not parallel with the blade can also cause these issues. Make sure to feed the workpiece straight, adjust blade guide bearings, adjust the blade guide bracket, adjust blade guides, check blade installation, adjust the wheels, replace the blade and adjust fence parallelism.
