Guide Post Alignment - Grizzly G0806 Owner's Manual

Guide Post
Alignment
If the blade guide post does not raise and lower
exactly parallel with the blade, the clearances
between the blade guides and blade will change
as the guide post is moved, causing rubbing,
wear, and blade deflection. Blade guide clearance
must stay the same when the guide post is raised
and lowered along its full length of travel.
Tools Needed
Hex Wrench 5mm .............................................. 1

To align the guide post:
1.
DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.
Make sure the blade tracking and tension are
set correctly (refer to Page 23).
3.
Lower the blade guide post to the bottom of
its travel and lock it in place.
4.
Adjust the blade guides as described on
Page 25.
5.
Unlock the post just enough to allow it to
slide, move it all the way up, then examine
the clearances between the blade and blade
guides to see if they changed.
Note: If these clearances changed beyond
your acceptable tolerances, the blade guide
receiver (see Figure 64) can be adjusted to
fix this condition.

guide receiver in the required direction.
8.
Tighten the cap screws and recheck blade
guide clearance along the guide post path of
travel.
9.
Repeat this procedure if necessary to fine-
tune the guide post travel to acceptable toler-
ances.
