Questions and Answers

    Why is the workpiece burned when cut with my Grizzly G1026 Power Tool?
    • R

      Burning during cutting with a Grizzly Power Tool can occur due to several reasons. First, the cutter may be dull, in which case you should replace it or have it professionally sharpened. Second, the feed rate might be too slow, so increase the feed speed. Third, pitch may have built up on the cutter, requiring cleaning with a blade and bit cleaning solution. Fourth, the cutter might be rotating in the wrong direction, so reverse the cutter's rotation. Finally, the cut may be too deep; try making several passes of light cuts.

    What to do if my Grizzly G1026 causes chipping?

      Edgar CookAug 2, 2025
      Chipping when using a Grizzly Power Tool can occur due to several reasons. The workpiece may have knots or conflicting grain direction, so inspect it and only use clean stock. The cutter might be nicked or chipped, so replace or sharpen it. Feeding the workpiece too fast can also cause chipping, so slow down the feed rate. Taking too deep of a cut is another potential cause; reduce the cutting depth, especially with hardwoods. Finally, cutting against the grain of the wood can lead to chipping, so cut with the grain.

    How to prevent divots in the edge of the cut with my Grizzly G1026?
    • B
      Bobby StevensAug 9, 2025
      Divots in the edge of a cut made by a Grizzly Power Tool can be caused by inconsistent feed speed; try to move smoothly or use a power feeder. It can also be caused by inconsistent pressure against the fence and rub collar; apply constant pressure. Finally, the fence may not be adjusted correctly; adjust the fence.

    Why does my Grizzly Power Tool leave fuzzy grain?
    • J
      johnsontammieAug 17, 2025
      Fuzzy grain when using a Grizzly Power Tool can be due to high moisture content or surface wetness in the wood. Check the moisture content and allow the wood to dry if it is more than 20%. It can also be caused by a dull cutter; replace or have the cutter professionally sharpened.
