accident prevention measures.
NOTICE
18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws -3-
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It is safer than using your
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Safety Instructions For Power Tools
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-
AL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. Know
what conditions can create “kickback” and
know how to avoid them. Read the manual
accompanying the machine thoroughly.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any
instructions you give in regards to the
operation of the machine are approved,
correct, safe, and clearly understood.

Additional Safety Instructions For Bandsaws
7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning a cut.
8. ALWAYS FEED STOCK EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. Do not force or twist blade
while cutting, especially when sawing
small radii.
9. THIS MACHINE IS NOT DESIGNED TO
CUT METAL or other material except
wood.
10. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW
BLADE except with the foot brake. Allow it
to come to a complete stop before you
leave it unattended.
11. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS,
AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE
WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug
pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop.
12. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE
HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits
in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
13. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE BANDSAW! Then contact our service
department or ask a qualified expert how
the operation should be performed.
1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR
BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades
require more effort to use and are difficult
to control. Inspect blades before each use.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR
THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal injury could occur.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS BANDSAW
WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND
BLADE GUARDS IN PLACE.
4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure
teeth face down toward the table. The force
of the cut is always down. Make sure the
blade is properly tensioned after installing.
5. WORKPIECE SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FULLY SUPPORTED by the table or some
type of support fixture. Always support
round stock in a V-block.
6. DO NOT BACK WORKPIECE AWAY from
the blade while the saw is running. Plan
your cuts so you always cut out of the
wood. If you need to back the work out,
turn the bandsaw off or use the foot brake
and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop. Do not twist or put excessive
stress on the blade while backing work
away. Inspect blade for damage such as
kinks before continuing to use it. Discard it
if necessary.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
To operate this or any power tool safely and
efficiently, it is essential to become as familiar with it as possible. The time you invest
before you begin to use your bandsaw will
be time well spent. DO NOT operate this
machine until you are completely familiar
with the contents of this manual or serious
personal injury may occur.

Model G0506/G0507
The Model G0506/G0507 Bandsaw is pre-wired
for single-phase, 220V operation. Under normal
use, the Model G0506 2 HP motor draws approximately 12 amps. We recommend a 15 amp circuit. This includes a 15 amp circuit breaker, plug,
receptacle and wiring rated for at least 15 amps.
Under normal use, the Model G0507 3 HP motor
draws approximately 22 amps. We recommend a
25 amp circuit. This includes a 25 amp circuit
breaker, plug and wiring rated for at least 25
amps. These circuits should be satisfactory for
normal use, while providing enough protection
against damage caused by an overloaded circuit.
If frequent circuit failures occur when using the
bandsaw, contact our service department or your
local electrical contractor.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit; it should not share a circuit with any
other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G0506/G0507.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a cord and
power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style
L6-25 plug and outlet similar to
Figure 1. You
may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your
panel, provided you place a disconnect switch
near the machine. Check the electrical codes in
your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
Please refer to the wiring diagram on
page 30 for
power hook-up information.
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Model G0511
The Model G0511 Bandsaw is pre-wired for 3phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the 5
HP motor draws approximately 13 amps. We recommend using a 15 amp circuit, including a 15
amp circuit breaker, plug, receptacle and wiring
rated for at least 15 amps. If frequent circuit
breaker failures occur when using the bandsaw,
contact our service department.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated circuit. It should not share a circuit with any
other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is necessary for use with the Model G0511.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a cord and
power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style
L15-20 plug and outlet, similar to
Figure 2. You
may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your
panel, provided you place a disconnect near the
machine. Check the electrical codes in your area
for specifics on wiring requirements.
Please refer to the wiring diagram on page 31 for
power hook-up information.
Figure 2. Typical plug configuration for 220V,
three-phase operation.
440V Operation
The Model G0511 Bandsaw is furnished with a 3
HP 3-phase motor that can be wired to 440V.
Under normal use, this motor draws approximately 6.5 amps at 440V. If 440V operation is
desired, we recommend using a 10 amp circuit
that includes the appropriate wiring, plug and circuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur
when using the bandsaw, contact our service
department.
The bandsaw must be connected to its own dedicated 10A circuit. It should not share a circuit
with any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is necessary for 440V use.
We recommend using a NEMA-style L16-20 plug
and outlet similar to that in
Figure 3. You may
also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your
panel, provided you place a disconnect near the
machine. Check the electrical codes in your area
for specifics on wiring requirements.
If you convert the bandsaw to 440V, the stock
magnetic switch must be replaced with a different magnetic switch specifically for 440V
use. The 440 magnetic switch is not included
with your bandsaw.

Under no circumstances should the grounding
blade from any plug be removed. If it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Repair or replace damaged
or worn cords immediately.
Check with a qualified electrician or one of our
service personnel if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if you are in
doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Use only extension cords that have grounding
type plugs and receptacles that accept the plug
on the machine
.
Grounding
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is not supplied with an electric
cord. A cord with a plug with a grounding pin must
be wired into the junction box on the back of the
machine. Also needed is a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
bandsaw. These requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. You must be sure
that your particular electrical configuration
complies with local and state codes. Ensure
compliance by checking with your local
municipality or a licensed electrician.
This equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any
existing electrical outlet
and circuit you intend to
plug into is actually
grounded. Under no circumstances should the
grounding pin from any
three-pronged plug be
removed. Serious injury
may occur.
We do not recommend the use of extension
cords on 220V or 440V equipment. It is much better to arrange the placement of your equipment
and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for
extension cords. Should it be necessary to use
an extension, make sure the cord is rated Hard
Service (Grade S) or better. Refer to the chart on
page 3 to determine the minimum gauge for the
extension cord. The extension cord must also
contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair
or replace extension cords when they become
worn or damaged.

Site Considerations
1. Floor Load: The 18" and 20" Super Heavy-
Duty Bandsaws represent a large weight
load in a small footprint. Most commercial
floors are suitable for your machine. Some
residential floors may require additional reinforcement to support both machine and
operator.
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for your bandsaw.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper installation
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Make your shop “child safe.”
Ensure that your workplace
is inaccessible to children
by closing and locking all
entrances when you are
away. Never allow visitors in
your shop when assembling,
adjusting, or operating
equipment.
Clean Up
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. To clean thoroughly,
some parts may need to be removed. For opti-
mum performance from your machine, make
sure you clean all moving parts or sliding
contact surfaces that are coated. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Do not use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
They have low flash
points which make them
extremely flammable. A
risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used.
Do not smoke while using
solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may
result in serious personal
injury.
Many of the solvents
commonly used to clean
machinery can be toxic
when inhaled or ingested. Always work in wellventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources
when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and
towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.

Always adjust the upper and lower blade guides
away from the blade before removing, installing
or tracking a new blade.
To adjust the blade guides:
1. Loosen the 4 knurled jam nuts (the upper
guide assembly is shown in Figure 11) that
lock the adjusting knob for the guide bearings in place.
2. Rotate the knurled adjuster knob counterclockwise.
3. Loosen the hex bolt for the back bearing and
slide it back. This will allow the blade to be
removed or tracked without interference.
4. After the blade tension and the blade tracking are set correctly, follow the “Guide
Bearing” and “Support Bearing” instructions
in this section for adjustment details.

Blade Tracking
Always adjust the blade guides away from the
blade before making blade tracking adjustments.
The wheels on the Model G0506/G0507/G0511
Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws are crowned and
have rubber tires. This style requires center blade
tracking for proper operation.
To adjust blade tracking:
1. Open the upper wheel cover door. Slowly
rotate the upper wheel and watch where the
blade rides on the wheel. If the blade stays
centered on the crown of the wheel, then it is
properly tracked.
2. If the blade does not ride centered on the
crown of the wheel, then spin the upper
wheel by hand and adjust the tracking handknob shown in
Figure 12,
until the blade is
positioned correctly.
3. Spin the wheel approximately three more
times to ensure that the blade stays centered. Adjust and check if necessary.
4. Close the upper wheel cover door.
Figure 12. Loosen the jam nut. Turning this
handwheel clockwise will move the blade further
into the saw body.
Gullet Line
Before further adjustments can be made to the
guide assembly, the guide bearings must be set
even with the “gullet line.” This is the inside edge
of the gullets for the bandsaw teeth.
To adjust blade guides to the gullet line:
Figure 13 shows the edge of the guide bearings
set even with the gullet line. A white line (A) has
been superimposed to the photo and the blade
guard has been moved for clarity.
1. Loosen the hex bolt on the right side of the
guide assembly (B).
2. Move the assembly in or out until the edge of
the guide roller is even with the gullet. If the
back bearing interferes with this, loosen the
lock bolt (C) and slide it back.
3. Tighten the bolt for the guide assembly.

The support bearings support the back of the
blade during the sawing operation. The adjustments that can be made to the support bearings
are lateral placement and backing placement.
Make sure the guide bearings are adjusted away
from the blade before making this adjustment.
Figure 14 shows the upper support bearings.
Figure 15 shows the lower assembly. When
making adjustments to the lower bearing the
assembly will move up and down as it moves
from side-to-side.
To adjust the lateral placement:
1. Loosen the hex bolts (shown in Figures 14
& 15) that allow the assembly to move side-
to-side.
2. Shift the entire assembly so the blade intersects the face of the bearing by at least
1
⁄8".
3. Tighten the hex bolts.

Figure 17. Guide bearings properly adjusted.
The guide bearings ensure that the blade cannot
twist during operation. Perform the steps below
for both upper and lower guide bearings.
To adjust the guide bearings:
1. Carefully tighten the guide adjustment knobs
until the guide bearings just touch the blade
on each side as in
Figure 17
. Do not deflect
the blade while making this adjustment and
do not over-tighten!
2. Tighten each of the jam nuts.
Ideally, the guide bearings should have 1 or 2
thousandths (0.001-2") clearance from the blade
and should not pinch the blade. The blade could
become hot and deformed if excessive pressure
is applied by the guide bearings. The system
employed by this bearing assembly will give
clearance for the blade when the jam nuts are
tightened. Make sure the jam nuts are tight before
starting the machine.
Guide Bearings Table Tilt
To tilt the table:
1. Loosen the large hex bolt under the table
and in the center of the table trunnion as
shown in
Figure 18
.
2. Tilt the table to the desired angle. Use the
angle gauge for easy reference.
3. Tighten the large hex bolt in the center of the
table trunnion.

Table Stop
The positive stop under the table (see Figure 19)
allows you to repeatedly square up the table after
adjusting the table to another angle.
To adjust the positive stop:
1. Loosen the large hex bolt in the center of the
table trunnion as described in the “Table Tilt”
instructions.

3. Raise the upper blade guide assembly and
place a 6" machinist’s square on the table
against the blade as shown in Figure 20.
Notice how far out of square your table is
and approximate this distance by adjusting
the positive stop up or down. Turning the
positive stop counterclockwise will raise it
and clockwise will lower it. Adjust the positive stop so the table will stop at a 90° angle
(square) to the blade.
4. Lock the positive stop by tightening the jam
nut. Do not let the stop turn while tightening
the jam nut. Tighten the large hex bolt in the
center of the table trunnion.
5. Set the angle pointer to zero on the table tilt
gauge.

dust collection port.
Foot Brake
Turn on the power supply at the main panel
and/or plug in the bandsaw. Push the START but-
ton to turn on the bandsaw. Make sure that your
hand is poised over the switch and your foot is situated so you can use the emergency foot brake
in case there is a problem. The bandsaw should
run smoothly with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. If strange or unnatural noises are imme-
diately apparent, press the STOP button or the
foot brake. Investigate and correct before operating the machine further.
If you cannot easily locate the source of an
unusual noise or vibration, feel free to contact our
service department for help.
The Model G0506/G0507 and G0511 is supplied
with a foot brake. When used, power to the motor
is disconnected and as pressure is applied to the
pedal, friction forces the blade wheels to come to
a halt.
Test Run
The rest of the adjustments in this section
require you to start the bandsaw. Before
starting the bandsaw, make sure you have
performed the preceding assembly and
adjustment instructions, and you have read
through the rest of the manual and are
familiar with the various functions and safety issues associated with this machine.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious personal injury or even death!
Wear safety glasses
while testing this
machine. Failure to comply may result in serious
personal injury.
The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw
wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT
become over confident and relax your safety awareness because of the foot brake feature.
Read through this entire
manual to become familiar with the controls and
the operations of the
bandsaw before turning
it on.

Figure 22. Blade tension gauge.
Blade Tension
5. Turn the bandsaw OFF. Double check the
tracking and blade guides to make sure that
they do not need to be adjusted after tensioning the blade. Reset the guide bearings
and upper blade guide assembly for height.
If the blade does not cut properly, the tension
may be incorrect. Re-adjust the tension.
After setting the tension, make a note of what the
tension gauge reads. See
Figure 22.
Use this to
go back to your tension setting during later tensioning and retensioning with
that particular
blade.
Keep in mind that blades will last longer if you
release the tension after every use. Also, new
blades will often stretch with use, and not all
blades will be exactly the same length. Use the
blade tension gauge as a guide for individual
blades.
Proper blade tension is essential to any cutting
operation on the bandsaw. Any time you change
blades or remove a blade, you must re-adjust the
tension.
To adjust the tension:
1. Adjust the upper and lower guide bearings
so the guide bearings are away from the
blade. Tighten the jam nut.
2. Lower the upper guide block assembly to the
table and tighten.
3. With moderate tension already on the blade,
turn the bandsaw ON.
4. If you see the blade start to flutter, increase
the tension until the blade stops fluttering,
then tighten the tension handle an additional
half turn.
If the blade does not flutter, decrease the
tension until it begins to flutter, then tighten it
to the point that it stops fluttering. Now tighten the tension handle an additional half turn.
-22- 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws
Blade Lead
Sometimes the bandsaw blade will not cut
straight even when the fence and blade are parallel (see Figure 23). This condition is called
“lead.” Lead occurs (1) if the blade tension is
incorrect, (2) if the teeth are dull on one side, or
(3) if the teeth are set heavier on one side of the
blade than the other.
If you determine that your blade is causing lead
problems, you should:
• Checking/adjusting the blade tension
• Replacing the blade
• Sharpening the blade
• Skewing the fence to match the lead
• Attaching an after market or shop made
resaw fence attachment.
Fence Adjustment
The fence slides along the rail for adjustment and
can be secured in place by tightening the star
knob located on the front of the fence.
If you notice that the fence is not parallel to the
blade, adjustments can be made where the rail
mounts to the bottom of the table.
To adjust the fence so it is parallel with the
blade:
1. Get a 1" x 4" x 28" board. Joint one edge per-
fectly straight, or rip a narrow strip off the
length of the board with a table saw.
2. On the face of the board, draw a straight line
parallel to the jointed or ripped edge.
3. Slide the bandsaw fence out of the way and
cut free-hand along the line. Stop at the
halfway point. Turn the bandsaw OFF, press
the foot brake and wait for the blade to stop.
4. Clamp the board to the bandsaw table without moving it. Now slide the fence over to the
board so it barely touches one end of the
board.
5. Loosen the two hex bolts that secure the
fence rail to the underside of the table.
6. Skew the fence left or right so it is parallel to
the edge of the scrap piece. You may need
to re-adjust the fence locking mechanisms to
gain maximum adjustment.
7. While maintaining the skew, tighten the rail
mounting bolts.
8. Make a few cuts using the fence. If the fence
still does not seem parallel to the blade, read
the “Blade Lead” instructions, or repeat
steps 1-7 until the blade and fence are parallel with each other.

Blade Selections
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read
books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your
machine. The following section was
designed to give instructions on the basic
operations of this bandsaw. However, it is in
no way comprehensive of every bandsaw
application. There are many different jigs
that can be built to increase safety, accuracy, and types of cuts.
Selecting the right blade requires a combination
of the various blade characteristics mentioned
below, the type of material you plan to cut, and
the type of cut you are going to perform.
Blade Length
Measured by the circumference, blade lengths
are usually unique to the model of your bandsaw
and the wheel diameter. The Model G0506 is
designed for blades that are 147
5
⁄8"-1495⁄8" long.
The Model G0507/G0511 requires blades that
are 160
13
⁄16"-1623⁄8" long.
Blade Width
Measured from the the back of the blade to the tip
of the blade tooth (the widest point), blade width
is often the first consideration given to blade
selection.
A narrow blade can cut tight curves (a small
radius) but is not very good at cutting straight
lines, because they naturally wander (blade
lead). However, larger blades are much better at
cutting straight lines and this makes them a natural choice for resaw applications
The 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws function best with blades that are
3
⁄8" - 1" wide. Refer
to the current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering information. Always pick the size of blade that
best suits your application.
Tooth Style
When selecting blades, another option to consider is the shape, gullet size and angle of the
teeth—otherwise known as “Tooth Style.”
-24- 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws
Figure 24. Raker, Skip and Hook blades.
Raker
Skip
Hook
• RAKER — This style is considered to be the
standard because the tooth size and shape
are the same as the tooth gullet. The teeth
on Raker blades are usually very numerous,
have no angle, and produce cuts by scraping
the material; these characteristics result in
very smooth cuts, but at the same time do
not cut fast and generate more heat while
cutting.These blades also work well for cutting curves.
• SKIP — This style is like a raker blade that is
missing every other tooth. Because of the
design, skip toothed blades have a much
larger gullet than raker blades, and therefore, cut faster and generate less heat.
However, these blades also leave a rougher
cut than raker blades. Great for super
Heavy-Duty and ripping thin stock.
• HOOK — The teeth on this style have a positive angle (downward) which makes them
dig into the material, and the gullets are usually rounded for easier waste removal.
These blades are excellent for the tough
demands of resawing and ripping thick
stock.
Tooth Pitch
Usually measured as T.P.I. (teeth per inch), tooth
pitch determines the size of the teeth. More teeth
per inch (fine pitch) will cut slower, but smoother;
while fewer teeth per inch (coarse pitch) will cut
faster, but rougher. As a general rule, choose
blades that will have at least three, but not more
than twelve teeth in the material at all times. Use
fine pitched blades on harder woods and coarse
pitched blades on softer woods.
Blade Care
A bandsaw blade is a delicate piece of steel that
is subjected to tremendous strain. You can obtain
longer use from a bandsaw blade if you give it fair
treatment and always use the appropriate feed
rate for your operation.
Be sure to select blades with the proper width,
style, and pitch for each application. The wrong
choice of blades will often produce unnecessary
heat which will shorten the life of your blade.
A clean blade will perform much better than a
dirty blade. A dirty blade passes through the cutting material with much more resistance than a
clean blade. This extra resistance will also cause
unnecessary heat. Maintain your blades with a
cutting blade lubricant like SLIPIT
®
(Model
G5562/3 in the Grizzly Catalog).
Blade Breakage
Many conditions may cause a bandsaw blade to
break. Blade breakage is unavoidable, in some
cases, since it is the natural result of the peculiar
stresses that bandsaw blades are subjected to.
Blade breakage is also due to avoidable circumstances. Avoidable breakage is most often the
result of poor care or judgement on the part of the
operator when mounting or adjusting the blade or
support guides.
The most common causes of blade breakage are:
(1) faulty alignment or adjustment of the guides,
(2) forcing or twisting a wide blade around a curve
of short radius, (3) feeding too fast, (4) tooth dullness or absence of sufficient set, (5) excessive
tension, (6) top blade guide assembly set too high
above the work piece, (7) using a blade with a
lumpy or improperly finished braze or weld and
(8) running the bandsaw when not in use.
Figure 24 shows the three main categories of
tooth style.
18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws -25-
Figure 25. Loosen this bolt to remove assembly.
Blade Changes
To remove the blade:
1. Disconnect power to the bandsaw!
2. Release the tension on the blade by turning
the tension control knob counterclockwise.
3. Remove the upper guide assembly from the
support bar by loosening the hex bolt shown
in
Figure 25
.
4. Adjust the lower guide bearings away from
the blade.
5. Put on leather gloves to protect your hands
from the sharp teeth of the blade.
Caution—the blades are sharp!
6. Open the upper and lower wheel covers and
slide the blade off both wheels.
Wear gloves and safety goggles when handling blades. Coiled blades spring open as
they are uncoiled and could cause deep
cuts or lacerations.
Always disconnect
power to the machine
when changing blades.
Failure to do this may
result in serious personal injury.
To replace the blade:
1. Put on leather gloves to protect your hands
from the sharp teeth of the blade.
2. Slide the blade through the table slot, ensuring that the teeth are pointing down toward
the table.
If the teeth will not point downward on the
right hand side, the blade is inside-out.
Remove the blade, and twist it right side-out.
3. Slip the blade through the lower guides, and
mount it over the upper and lower wheels so
the blade is centered on the wheels.
4. Mount the upper guides by sliding the blade
between the guide bearings and then guide
the bearing bracket onto the guide post. Use
care when aligning the guide assembly so
that it does not twist the blade.
5. Apply tension, then check and adjust tracking as described in the section titled Blade
Tracking.
6. Adjust the upper and lower guide blocks and
support bearings.
7. Close and latch the wheel covers.
-26- 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws
Ripping is the process of cutting a wide board into
two or more narrower boards. The maximum
board width that can be ripped is limited by the
maximum throat dimension of the bandsaw.
For ripping, a wider blade is better. In most ripping applications, a standard raker tooth style will
be sufficient. Also, since most ripped lumber will
be jointed smooth, you can choose blades with
fewer teeth-per-inch.
To perform ripping operations:
1. The bandsaw must be adjusted correctly.
See “Blade Tension/Tracking” instructions
and “Fence Adjustment” instructions.
2. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the
workpiece with a minimum amount of blade
exposed. Read instructions on “Blade Lead”
before making a cut.
3. Use a fence to guide the work. Set the distance between the fence and the blade to the
desired width.
4. Support the ends of the board if necessary.
5. Feed the work slowly and evenly with the
straightest edge against the fence.
Ripping Stacked Cuts
One of the benefits of a bandsaw is its ability to
cut multiple copies of a particular shape by stacking a number of workpieces together.
Before making stacked cuts, it is essential to
ensure that both the table and the blade are properly adjusted to 90°. Otherwise, any error will be
compounded with each piece from the top to the
bottom of the stack.
To complete a stacked cut:
1. Align your pieces from top to bottom to
ensure that each piece has adequate scrap
to provide a clean, unhampered cut.
2. Secure all the pieces together using brad
nails through the waste portion or using
beads of hot glue across the outside edges.
3. Lay out the shape you intend to cut on the
face of the top piece.
4. Adjust the blade guard so it is just above the
workpiece with a minimum amount of the
blade exposed. One inch is ideal.
5. Make relief cuts perpendicular to the outline
of your intended shape in areas where
changes in blade direction could strain the
blade.
6. Cut the stack of pieces as though you were
cutting a single piece. Follow the layout line
with the blade kerf on the waste side of your
line.
18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws -27-
Resawing
Resawing is the process of cutting the thickness
of a board into two or more thinner boards. Each
new board is the same width and length as the
original board, but the thickness is less. The maximum board width that can be resawn is limited by
the maximum cutting height of the bandsaw.
The most important consideration when resawing
is blade selection. When selecting a blade, keep
in mind that generally a wider blade makes cutting a straight line easier.
In most applications a hook or skip tooth style will
work best. Also, since most resawn lumber will be
planed smooth, you can choose blades with
fewer teeth per inch (3 to 6). While blades with
fewer teeth per inch produce rougher cuts, these
types of blades offer larger gullet capacities for
clearing sawdust, they produce less heat, and
they yield more horsepower per tooth.
To resaw lumber, follow the procedure below:
1. The blade must be adjusted correctly for ten-
sion and tracking.
2. The fence must be parallel to the blade.
3. Adjust the upper blade guide so it is just
above the workpiece with a minimum
amount of blade exposed.
4. Use the widest blade that will fit your bandsaw. (Your saw has a 1" width capacity). The
blade must also be sharp and in good condition. Read “Blade Lead” instructions.
5. Use the fence to guide the work.
6. Support the weight of the board with infeed
and/or outfeed rollers, if necessary.
7. Feed the work slowly and evenly.
When resawing, consider using an auxiliary fence
that is higher than the standard fence. This provides a more solid surface for the workpiece to
slide against. An auxiliary fence can be made
from any straight and flat piece of lumber and can
be bolted or screwed to the standard fence.
When using a fence to guide the board, the actual line of cut may not be exactly parallel to the
fence. This is due to a number of reasons involving the configuration of the table, condition of the
blade, the cutting forces, and the blade tension.
To correct this condition, refer to the “Blade Lead”
instructions.
Do not force the wood into the blade during
cutting. This will distort the blade, cause
excessive heat and often results in blade
breakage. Breakage can cause abrasions,
cuts, or serious personal injury.
-28- 18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws
SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
V-Belts
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good
condition and operate under proper tension. The
belt should be checked for cracks, fraying and
wear. Belt tension should be checked at least
every 3 months; more often if the bandsaw is
used daily.
To adjust the V-belt:
1. The V-belt is accessed via the bottom cover.
2. Squeeze the center of the V-belt.
3. Note the amount of deflection.
4. Deflection should be approximately
3
⁄4".
5. Loosen the bolts which secure the motor
support bracket to the back of the bandsaw
and pull the motor and bracket up.
6. Tighten the bolts and recheck the tension.
7. Make further adjustments if needed until the
belt deflects
3
⁄4".
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws should
be protected against rust and pitting. Wiping the
saw clean after every use ensures that wood dust
is not allowed to trap moisture against bare metal
surfaces.
To keep table rust free:
1. Use regular applications of products like
SLIPIT
®
.
2. For long term storage consider using products like Boeshield
®
T-9. See the current
Grizzly catalog for complete list of these
products.
Table
Always be aware of the condition of your bandsaw. Routinely check the condition of the following items and repair or replace as necessary:
• Loose mounting bolts
• Worn switch
• Worn or damaged blade
• Worn or damaged support bearings or guide
bearings
Miscellaneous
Always disconnect
power to the machine
when performing maintenance. Failure to do this
may result in serious
personal injury.
18" & 20" Super Heavy-Duty Bandsaws -29-
The sealed and pre-lubricated ball bearings on
most of the moving parts of this bandsaw require
no lubrication for the life of the bearings. These
bearings are standard sizes, and replacements
can be purchased from our parts department or a
bearing supply store.
The guide bearings do require oil daily or after
every 8 hours of use. They are supplied with a
detent ball valve for an oiling port and can be
oiled with a “squirt-gun” type oiler. We recommend 10 wt. non-detergent oil.
To oil the guide bearings:
1. Clean all the oiling ports with a paper towel
or a clean rag.
2. Press the tip of the oiler against the ball as
shown in Figure 23.
3. Apply only a small amount of oil. Excess oil
can spread to the blade and contaminate the
workpiece and bandsaw wheels.
4. Wipe off excess oil from around the oiling
port.
Lubrication
The bandsaw is supplied with a lower wheel
brush. This may need occasional cleaning and
adjustment. It is advisable to check it once a day
and make sure that it is clear of dust and any
small bits of wood that may have become trapped
between it and the lower wheel. The mounting
bracket that secures it to the bandsaw body is
slotted for adjustments as the bristles become
worn. Please contact our parts department
should replacement become necessary.
Wheel Brush

As for other items on this machine:
1. Wipe off any sawdust with a clean cloth or
dry paint brush on and around the guide post
assembly.
2. Lubricate the guide post assembly with an
occasional “shot” of spray on lubricant.

slipping.

SECTION 8: CLOSURE
Like all power tools, there is danger associated with the 18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty
Bandsaws. Use your bandsaw with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility of
mechanical damage or operator injury. If
normal safety precautions are overlooked
or ignored, serious personal injury may
occur.
The 18" and 20" Super Heavy-Duty
Bandsaws were specifically designed for
wood cutting operations. DO NOT MODIFY
AND/OR USE THESE BANDSAWS FOR ANY
OTHER PURPOSE. Modifications or improper use will void the warranty. If you are confused about any aspect of your machine, DO
NOT use it until all your questions are
answered. Serious personal injury may
occur.
Operating this equipment has the potential
for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always
wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain
the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
