If the blade on your Grizzly Saw slows down, smokes, shows overheating, or wears on one side, consider the following: * Adjust the blade guides to eliminate any side pressure. Properly align the table. * Adjust the upper blade guides as close to the workpiece as possible. * Check the blade rotation and reinstall the blade if necessary. * Feed the workpiece straight into the blade. * Adjust the wheels to be coplanar. * Replace the blade if it is worn. * Adjust the fence parallelism with the blade. * Adjust or shim the table or trunnion position until the blade and table are parallel and square. * Tighten the V-belt, and replace it if it is worn or oily.
Why does the blade on my Grizzly G0817 Saw keep coming off the wheels?
If the blade on your Grizzly Saw is tracking incorrectly or coming off the wheels, try these solutions: * Adjust the tracking. * Adjust the wheels to be coplanar. * Increase the blade tension. * Properly adjust the blade guides and support bearings. * Feed the workpiece slower. * Install the correct blade. * Install a new blade and remove tension from the blade when not in use. * Replace the rubber tires or wheel.
How to prevent blade breakage on my Grizzly G0817 Saw?
If the blade or teeth on your Grizzly Saw break or crack, consider these solutions: * Adjust the blade tension. * Use the correct blade for the application. * Reduce the feed rate or pressure. * Use a wider arc on outside cuts, or use relief cuts to make tight inside cuts. * Replace the blade. * Adjust the blade tracking. * Adjust the blade guides and support bearings properly, ensuring the guides cannot contact the teeth during operation. * Replace or re-install the tire. * Align the table miter slot and fence with the blade. * Replace the blade-guide bearings.
Why does my Grizzly G0817 leave rough edges on workpieces?
If your Grizzly Saw produces finished workpieces that are rough or show scoring, consider the following: * Decrease the feed rate and ensure proper TPI. * Use the correct blade for the material and speed of cut. * Adjust blade tension as required. * Adjust blade tracking. * Replace the blade.
What causes crooked cuts on my Grizzly G0817?
If the cut is crooked or the blade wanders (blade lead) on your Grizzly Saw, try the following: * Reduce the feed rate or pressure. * Increase the blade tension. * Use a wider blade and ensure the tooth type and TPI are correct. * Position the upper blade guides to just clear the workpiece. Properly adjust the blade guides and support bearings. * Replace the blade. * Adjust the blade tracking. * Tighten the table trunnion mounting bolts or tilt lock lever. * Align the table miter slot and fence with the blade. * Properly adjust the blade guides and support bearings. * Replace the blade.
What to do if gullets on my Grizzly G0817 Saw blade are loaded with chips?
If you find gullets loaded with chips on your Grizzly Saw, here are a couple of things to try: * Reduce the feed rate or pressure. * Install the correct blade.
