Adjustments; Roller Placement - Grizzly G1128 Instruction Manual

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS

Roller Placement

Your power feeder will operate best if the rollers
are properly placed and their speed is correct for
the job.
G1129: If you look at the rollers on the G1129,
you will notice that the gap between the first
and second rollers is larger than that
between the second and third rollers. This
arrangement allows you to place the rollers
so the first wheel is slightly ahead of your
cutting tool, while the middle and third
wheels are behind. Thus, the rollers feed
your workpiece into, through and past the
cutting surface smoothly. This feature pro-
vides consistent application of force without
binding the cutting tool.
G1128: The G1128 does not have different sized
gaps between the wheels. However, the
first wheel must be placed slightly ahead of
the cutter for the power feeder to work
effectively.

To position the rollers correctly on the G1128
/ G1129:
1. Raise the horizontal column so the rollers
are just above the table.
2. Swing the motor and roller assembly so the
rollers are just slightly away from the cutter,
with the first roller slightly forward of the cut-
ting region.
3. Skew the feed rollers so they are angled just
slightly toward the fence. The first wheel
should be just about
fence than the third wheel. Figure 3.
