Sliding Table Movement Adjustment; Squaring Crosscut Fence To Blade - Grizzly G0764Z Owner's Manual

Sliding Table
Movement
Adjustment
The sliding table features an adjustment bar with
bolts that control how easily the sliding table
moves across the base (see Figure 155). These
adjustment bolts are factory set and should not
be adjusted unless absolutely necessary. They
can only be accessed by removing the end cov-
ers from both ends of the sliding table base and
sliding the thin plate that is over the bolts out of
the way.
Important: Before making any adjustments to the
factory setting, make sure it is necessary. This is
a major adjustment that, if not done properly, can
adversely affect the movement of the sliding table
saw.

Increasing pressure between the rails (turning
bolts counterclockwise) reduces table move-
ment inaccuracies, which increases accuracy,
but makes it harder to slide the table. Decreasing
pressure between the rails (turning bolts clock-
wise) makes it easier to slide the table, but
increases table movement inaccuracies, which
reduces accuracy.
Adjusting this part of the sliding table correctly is
a matter of trial-and-error by making adjustments,
moving the sliding table, making additional adjust-
ments, and repeating the process until the sliding
table moves smoothly and easily but without any
inaccuracies.

Squaring Crosscut
Fence to Blade
Squaring the crosscut fence to the blade ensures
that cuts made with the crosscut fence will be
square. This procedure can be done by using a
32" x 32" piece of scrap plywood as a test piece
and making five test cuts, then adjusting the fence
as necessary.
Note: Getting accurate results with this procedure
is a matter of trial-and-error and patience.
To square crosscut fence with the blade:
1.
Make sure sliding table is parallel with
main blade (refer to Sliding Table Parallel
Adjustment on Page 75 for detailed instruc-
tions).
2.
Loosen crosscut fence pivot lock knob to
allow fence to pivot.
3.
Move crosscut fence stop block against 0°
stop bolt (see Figure 156), then retighten
pivot lock knob to secure fence in place.
