Power Feed; Thickness Planing - Grizzly G1037Z Instruction Manual

Power Feed

Tools Needed:
Hex Wrench 5mm ..............................................1
Combo Wrench 10/12mm ..................................1
The power feed has a two speed gearbox that
uses a 31/46T gear combination to plane at 24
FPM, and a 20/57T gear combination to feed the
workpiece at 12 FPM for a finer finish when plan-
ing or moulding.
To change the power feed speed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source!
2. Remove the gearbox cover with the
10/12mm Combo Wrench.
3. Remove the cap screws that hold the gears
on their shafts with the 5mm Hex Wrench.
4. Put the other set of gears on the shafts and
tighten down the cap screws.
5. Replace the gearbox cover.

Thickness Planing

Thickness planing sizes material and creates a
smooth surface parallel with the opposite side of
the board. It does not remove twisting, warping,
or cupping. If these conditions exist, joint the
workpiece before using the planer.
To perform thickness planing operations:
1. Raise the work table to the height of the
thickest part of the board.
Always stand to one side of the machine to
avoid kickback. Always wear proper eye
protection.
2. Turn the planer/moulder ON. Stand to the
side and feed the wood into the planer/moul-
der. Note—Always plane with the grain of
the wood.
3. Support the infeed end of the board until half
of the board has been fed into the
planer/moulder, then walk around to the out-
feed side and support the other end of the
board.
4. Raise the work table a maximum of
Note—Remove less material in wide or
dense stock.
5. Flip the stock end for end and feed into the
planer upside down. Note—This ensures the
other side of the board is planed with the
grain.
6. Measure the thickness of the board. Repeat
steps 2-5 until the desired thickness is
reached.
