What to do if workpiece burns or binds when feeding with my Grizzly G1023RLX?

  Richard JohnsonAug 22, 2025
  If the workpiece burns or binds when feeding your Grizzly Saw, it could be due to several reasons. The riving knife or spreader may not be correctly aligned with the blade; adjust them accordingly. The fence may not be parallel with the blade, causing pressure at the blade's backside; adjust the fence to be parallel. The blade might be warped or damaged, requiring replacement. Finally, the blade may have too many teeth for the cutting type, so changing to a blade with fewer teeth might be necessary.

Why is too much sawdust blown back toward operator using Grizzly G1023RLX Saw?
- K
  Kathryn BurchAug 26, 2025
  If too much sawdust is blown back toward the operator while using your Grizzly Saw, consider the following: Ensure the blade guard is re-installed for maximum safety and dust control. Seal any air leaks in the cabinet or around the dust chute to improve dust collection. Check if the dust collection system is clogged or too weak, and remove any clogs or revise the ducting layout for improved suction. Adjust the fence to be parallel with the blade to prevent pressure at the blade's backside. Lastly, adjust the table/trunnions so the miter slot is parallel with the blade at 90° and 45°.

How to fix a Grizzly Saw handwheel that binds or is difficult to move?
- C
  Christopher StevensAug 28, 2025
  If the handwheel binds or is difficult to move on your Grizzly Saw, check if the lock knob is engaged and loosen it. If the handwheel shaft pins are wedged, remove the handwheel and adjust the shaft pins. If the handwheel is inserted too far, remove it and adjust the key. Lastly, if there is too much engagement between the worm gear and trunnion, adjust the worm gear engagement.

Why is the arbor movement sloppy or difficult on my Grizzly G1023RLX?
- T
  Teresa BurtonAug 30, 2025
  If the arbor movement on your Grizzly Saw is sloppy, inconsistent, difficult to move, or binds, it could be due to the elevation slide gib being too tight or too loose; adjust it accordingly. Another possible cause is a worn-out gas strut, which would need to be replaced.

What to do if the blade does not reach 45 degrees on my Grizzly Saw?
- J
  Jorge SalazarSep 2, 2025
  If the blade of your Grizzly Saw does not reach 45 degrees, it could be due to the pointer or scale being calibrated incorrectly, so calibrate the pointer/scale at true 45 degrees. Another reason might be that the 45 degree stop bolt is out of adjustment, so adjust the 45 degree stop bolt. Also, sawdust buildup in the front trunnion can be the cause, so check for sawdust in the trunnions, clean, and re-lubricate as necessary.

Why doesn't the blade on my Grizzly Saw reach 90 degrees?
- T
  tchristianSep 5, 2025
  If the blade of your Grizzly Saw does not reach 90 degrees, it could be because the pointer or scale is calibrated incorrectly; calibrate the pointer/scale at a true 90 degrees. Alternatively, the 90 degree stop bolt may be out of adjustment; adjust the 90 degree stop bolt.

What causes the blade to be too close to the insert on my Grizzly G1023RLX?
- R
  Rachel MooreSep 7, 2025
  If the blade is too close to the insert on your Grizzly Saw, it could be because the blade position on the arbor is incorrect; verify that the blade arbor washers are correct and in the required position. Another reason could be that the table mounting position is not centered; loosen the table mounting bolts, adjust the table position, then realign the blade.

Why won't the blade go beneath the table surface on my Grizzly G1023RLX?
- B
  brandonmorrisonSep 10, 2025
  If the blade will not go beneath the table surface on your Grizzly Saw, the handwheel shaft pins may be wedged; remove the handwheel and adjust the shaft pins. Alternatively, a roll pin/setscrew in the worm gear may be contacting the geared trunnion; tighten the roll pins and set screws in the worm gear. Another possibility is that the handwheel key is inserted too far; remove the handwheel and adjust the key.
