Adjusting Miter Slot-Belt/Disc Parallelism; Calibrating Miter Gauge - Grizzly G1014Z Owner's Manual

Adjusting Miter Slot-
Belt/Disc Parallelism
If the miter slot is not parallel with the sanding belt
or disc, workpieces may not be sanded correctly
when using the miter gauge.
Tools Needed
Combination Square ........................................... 1
To adjust the miter slot parallel with the
sanding belt/disc:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Remove the miter gauge, then place a combi-
nation square with the 90º square in the miter
slot, as shown in Figure 85.
Figure 85. Checking miter slot parallelism
(sanding disc shown).
3. Slide the square to the other side and check
to see if the distance from the slot to the
sanding belt/disc is the same.
— If the distance is the same, no adjust-
ments need to be made.
— If the distance is not the same from side to
side, loosen the screws (see Figure 66 on
Page 37) that secure the work table arm to
the work table and adjust the table so it is
approximately ⁄
1
belt/disc across its entire length.

4. Repeat Step 3 and adjust the table as
needed until the miter slot is parallel with the
sanding belt/disc on both sides.
Calibrating Miter
Gauge
Calibrate the miter gauge if the angle of sanded
workpieces does not match what the miter gauge
scale indicates.
To calibrate the miter gauge:
1. Place one edge of a machinist's square
against the face of the miter gauge and the
other against the sanding disc (see Figure
86) or sanding belt.
Figure 86. Calibrating miter gauge with square.
2.
Loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and
adjust it flush with the edge of the square.
3.
Tighten the lock knob and verify the setting.
Note: Sometimes the tightening procedure
can affect the adjustment.
4.
Loosen the screw that secures the angle
pointer and adjust the pointer to the 0º mark
on the scale.
5. Retighten the screw that secures the angle
pointer.
