Curved Cuts; Bevel Cuts - Grizzly G1060 Instruction Manual

Curved Cuts

1. Scribe a curved line on your workpiece with
a sharp pencil or scratch awl.
2.
Adjust Hold-down Foot as for straight cut-
ting.
3. Maintaining a slow, even pressure, feed the
workpiece into the blade. Approaching a
tight radius, slow down your feed rate, but
don't stop. The blade must do the cutting;
don't force the piece into the blade faster
than the machine can handle, especially on
a curve. This will cause the blade to twist,
which increases the risk of breakage. At all
times, keep the workpiece flat against the
table, and keep an eye on the blade to make
sure it doesn't twist.
4. If your cut produces waste in the curve's
interior, turn the power off and wait until all
motion stops before removing the waste
against the blade. Figure 10.

Bevel Cuts

1. Scribe your workpiece as described in the
previous two sections.
2.
Adjust table to desired angle.
3. Adjust the Hold-down Foot to the same angle
as the table. Its adjustment bolt is shown in
Figure 11. As with the other cuts, make it
touch, not clamp your workpiece.
4. Using the same principles as in the previous
sections, feed the work slowly and evenly
into the blade, remembering not to force the
workpiece.
5. Wait until all motion has stopped before
removing waste close to the blade.
