Cutter Installation - Grizzly G5912Z Owner's Manual

Cutter Installation

Your shaper operates at speeds of 3600, 5100,
8000 and 10,000 R.P.M. 3
must be operated at the slowest speed.
Always use the largest spindle size possible, and
never use more than one bushing size to gain
two spindle sizes. "Stacking" two cutter bushings
to decrease the inside diameter of the cutter and
will cause the cutter to perform incorrectly when
placed under a load.
To install a cutter:
1. DISCONNECT SHAPER FROM POWER!
2. Place an appropriate spacer or collar at the
base of the spindle for support.
3. Place the cutter on the spindle. Make sure
the rotation is correct for your application.
4.
Use spacers or collars to suit your particular
application.
5.
Place the spindle washer under the nut.
Screw on the nut and locknut.
6. Tighten the nuts while holding the spindle
stationary. Use a wrench on the notches at
the top of the spindle for leverage as shown
in Figure 28.
Always use a spindle lock nut during oper-
ation. If this warning is ignored, the cut-
ter may fly off the spindle during use and
cause severe personal injury.
