Table Bearings; 90° Stop - Grizzly G0679 Owner's Manual

Table bearings

the table rolls forward and backwards on bearing
assemblies. if you notice excessive vertical play
in the table, you may need to adjust the bearing
assemblies.
the bearings are mounted on eccentric shafts. By
rotating the shaft, the position of the bearings is
moved up or down. to remove excessive play, it is
only necessary to adjust the top two bearings on
each side of the table.

To adjust the bearing assemblies:
1.
loosen the hex nuts on each end of the bear-
ing shafts. it is not necessary to fully remove
them (figure 58).
