What to do if my Grizzly G1015 Sander does not start?
- J
  Jack ObrienJul 26, 2025
  If your Grizzly Sander doesn't start or a breaker trips, it could be due to several reasons. First, make sure the power supply is switched on and has the correct voltage. Check the plug and receptacle for good contacts and correct wiring. A faulty start capacitor may also be the cause, so test and replace if necessary. If the wall circuit breaker tripped, ensure the circuit size is correct and replace any weak breakers. Inspect the wiring for any broken, disconnected, or corroded wires. The motor ON/OFF button or the centrifugal switch could also be at fault and may need replacement. Finally, the motor itself could be faulty and may require testing, repair, or replacement.

Why is my Grizzly G1015 Sander stalling?
- H
  Hayden GarrettJul 30, 2025
  If your Grizzly Sander is stalling or underpowered, it could be due to applying too much load with the workpiece; ease the workpiece into the sanding belt with light pressure. Incorrect motor wiring can also cause this issue, so refer to page 29 for correct wiring. Check the plug and receptacle for good contacts and correct wiring. Faulty motor bearings may be the cause, requiring testing, repair, or replacement. Ensure the machine isn't undersized for the task; use a new grinding/buffing wheel and reduce the feed rate/sanding depth. Inspect or replace the centrifugal switch if necessary, and test, repair, or replace the motor if it's faulty.

How to fix vibration in my Grizzly G1015?
- E
  Erin RamirezAug 3, 2025
  If your Grizzly Sander has vibration or noisy operation, start by inspecting and replacing any damaged bolts or nuts, and re-tighten them with thread locking fluid. Check for a loose idler or drive wheel, realigning or replacing the shaft, wheel, set screw, and key if necessary. Ensure the sander is correctly mounted to the workbench, re-tightening the mounting hardware and using shims if needed. Test the motor bearings by rotating the shaft; rotational grinding or a loose shaft indicates the need for bearing replacement. Lastly, test for a bent motor shaft with a dial indicator, and replace the motor if bent.

  If the sanding belt on your Grizzly Sander runs off the wheels, it could be due to incorrect belt tracking. Adjust the belt tracking as described on Page 21. Also, ensure the belt is correctly tensioned as explained on Page 20. If the belt is damaged, replace it.

What to do if sanding belt is breaking on my Grizzly G1015 Sander?
- J
  John MasonAug 12, 2025
  If the sanding belt on your Grizzly Sander is breaking or tearing, it might be due to the belt tension being too tight; correctly adjust the belt tension as described on Page 20. Ensure the belt rotation is correct by verifying that the direction arrows follow the rotation direction, as shown on Page 20. Finally, the belt may be of poor quality or the incorrect type, so replace it with a good quality belt of the correct type for the operation.

Why is my Grizzly G1015 Sander sanding belt making a grinding noise?
- L
  Lori MclaughlinAug 16, 2025
  If your Grizzly Sander's sanding belt makes a grinding noise during operation, it could be due to the belt rubbing against the wheel housing; adjust the upper wheel guard and correctly adjust the belt tracking as described on Page 21. The tool rest might also be rubbing against the belt, so adjust it away from the belt no more than 1?8". If the graphite coating on the platen is worn out, replace the platen. Lastly, a worn-out idler wheel bearing could be the cause, requiring replacement of both the bearing and the idler wheel.

How to fix a hard to move pivot arm on Grizzly Sander?
- M
  Melissa NelsonAug 20, 2025
  If the pivot arm on your Grizzly Sander is hard to move, it could be due to tight pivot arm set screws; loosen them before rotating the arm as described on Page 23. Alternatively, the pivot arm bushing may not be lubricated, so lubricate it as shown on Page 25.
