Press the START button. Make sure that your
finger is poised on the STOP button, just in
case there is a problem. The mill should run
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing

Securing Workpiece

All machining operations done on this machine
require the workpiece be securely clamped to the
milling table or in a vise that is securely bolted to
the table.
The milling table has 3 T-slots which accept T-
nuts sized for use with
bolts for this purpose. The hex heads are too
small and may break free of the T-slot, causing
the workpiece to become unstable and unsafe.
The G1075 Clamping Kit or individual T-nuts,
flanged nuts, step clamps and blocks are offered
by Grizzly. Milling machine vises are also avail-
able and range in size from 2
Whenever clamping a workpiece to the Wood
Mill table, remember these important safety
guidelines:
• Make sure the interlocking components
of the step clamps engage fully and that
the step clamp lays evenly on the work-
piece. See Figures 18 and 19.
• Always have a minimum of 3 clamping
devices when securing the workpiece to
the table as in Figure 20.
• Check clearance by moving the table
(with the machine unplugged) along the
intended path. Obstructions could lead
to a "crash" creating an unsafe condition
and resulting in serious personal injury.
See Figure 21.
Secure workpiece with
clamps or in a vise
before starting machine.
Failure to observe this
