Spindle Bearings - Grizzly G1035 Instruction Manual

Spindle Bearings

The spindle bearing housing equipped with the
Model G1035 features factory-sealed bearings. A
sealed bearing requires no lubrication during its
lifetime.
Should a bearing fail, your shaper will probably
develop a noticeable rumble, which will increase
when the machine is put under load. If allowed to
get worse, overheating of the journal containing
the bad bearing could occur. If the bad bearing
is not replaced, it will eventually seize – possi-
bly doing damage to other parts of the machine.
Bearings are standard sizes and can be replaced
through Grizzly.
You must remove the complete bearing housing
assembly to replace the bearings.
To remove the bearing housing assembly:
1. Remove the V-Belt.
2. Loosen the locking bolt on the spindle slide.
See Figure 51.

need to spread the casting more, use a
screwdriver.
