    SECTION 4: ASSEMBLY Beginning Assembly Most of your Model G8621 Shaper has been assembled at the factory, but some parts must be assembled or installed after delivery. We have organized the assembly process into steps. Please follow along in the order presented here.

  • Page 14: Spindle

    Spindle The Model G8621 comes with three interchange- able spindles like those in Figure 5. The spindles must be inserted correctly and remain stable in order to produce quality work. When installing and changing spindles, make sure the spindle seats snugly and that there is enough drawbar threaded into the bottom of the spindle to safely secure it in place.

  • Page 23: Table Inserts

    Table Inserts The Model G8621 is supplied with two inserts which provide three possible opening diameters in the shaper table surface. Use the smallest opening that a particular cutter will allow. This offers more support for the workpiece and reduces the amount of chips that can fall into the machine.

    There are two types of rub collars—solid and ball- bearing. We recommend against the use of solid rub collars. Grizzly carries an extensive line of ball bearing rub collars designed for use with Grizzly shapers. See the current catalog for list- ings.

    Also, unless your jig is designed to touch the rub collar before contacting the blade, a starting fixture must be used to begin your cut. Workpiece fits here G8621 Heavy-Duty Sliding Table Shaper...

    Because of the steady feed rate, power feed- ers can also produce cleaner, more consis- tent cuts. Check the current Grizzly catalog for available power feeders. Because of the wide range of fences and guards that can be built in the shop, explaining their con- struction is beyond the scope of this manual.

  • Page 33: Section 7: Maintenance
