Adjusting Gibs - Grizzly G0855 Owner's Manual

7. Remove Torx screw and insert, then carefully
clean away all dust and debris from insert
and insert pocket in cutterhead.
IMPORTANT: This step is critical for achiev-
ing a smooth finish with cutting operations.
Dirt or dust trapped under insert during instal-
lation will slightly raise insert in cutterhead,
which will leave marks on workpiece after
jointing.
Tip: Use low-pressure compressed air or a
vacuum nozzle to clean cutterhead pocket.
8.
Re-install insert with a sharp cutting edge
facing outward. Make sure insert is properly
seated in cutterhead pocket before securing.
— If all four insert cutting edges have been
used, replace insert with a new one. Always
position reference dot in same position
when installing a new insert to aid in rota-
tional sequencing.
9.
Lubricate Torx screw threads with a small
amount of light machine oil, wipe excess off,
and torque screw to 48–50 inch/pounds.
IMPORTANT: If too much oil is applied to the
threads, excess will attempt to squeeze out of
threaded hole as you install insert and force it
to raise slightly, making it out of alignment.

Adjusting Gibs
The function of the table gibs is to eliminate
excessive play in the table movement. The gibs
also control how easy it will be to move the tables
up and down.
Item(s) Needed:
Open-End Wrench 13mm .................................. 1
Hex Wrench 4mm .............................................. 1
To adjust table gibs:
1.
Loosen (4) infeed table gib nuts with set
screws on front of table/fence assembly
(see Figure 59).

Set Screws
Figure 59. Infeed table gib controls.
2. Oil table ways if needed (refer to Lubrication
on Page 39).
3.
Evenly tighten gib set screws a small amount,
then check tables by moving them up and
down. Adjust set screws as needed until fric-
tion of table movement is balanced between
minimal play and ease of movement.
Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it
harder to adjust tables.
4. Set outfeed table height (refer to Setting
Outfeed Table Height on Page 48).
