Grizzly G0543 Instruction Sheet

INTRODUCTION
The Model G0543 is the same jointer as the
Model G0500 with the upgrade of the spiral
cutterhead.
The spiral cutterhead consists of 40 indexable
carbide inserts. Each insert has four cutting
edges, which can be easily rotated if the current
cutting edge becomes dull or damaged.
In addition, a reference dot is in one corner of
each insert face to indicate when that insert has
been rotated. After all four edges have been
used, the dot will be back to its original position
and replacement of the insert will then be
necessary. Note—To avoid confusion about
which edges are sharp, always rotate inserts
clockwise. The inserts are not resharpenable.
