Head Tilt - Grizzly G0808 Owner's Manual

Head Tilt

The head tilts from 30° left to 90° right. The 0°
index pin locks the head perpendicular to the
table and must be removed before tilting the head.
A scale on the side of the head indicates the
angle of tilt (see Figure 40).
When positioning head back to 0° after tilt-
ing it, you will need to tram it to ensure spin-
dle is precisely perpendicular to table for
proper drilling accuracy. Refer to Tramming
Spindle section on Page 48 for instructions.

4. Loosen three lock nuts (one on each side of
head and one inside head) that secure head
tilt setting (see Figures 41–40).
5. With assistance from another person to sup-
port head, tilt head to desired position.
— If tilting head to an angle other than 0°
(perpendicular to table), use scale (see
Figure 40) as a guide for setting tilt angle.
— If returning head to 0° (perpendicular to
table), use scale as a guide. When head is
at 0°, re-insert index pin with hex nut, and
gently tap it with a small hammer or mallet
to seat it.
6. Retighten lock nuts from Step 4.
