Introduction; Foreword; Contact Info; Functional Overview - Grizzly G9972Z Owner's Manual

Machine Description
The primary purpose of Model G9972Z 11" x
26" Light-Duty Lathe w/Gearbox is to make con-
centric cuts in metal stock. With the lathe, round
stock can be made perfectly concentric, threaded,
drilled, knurled, bored, tapered, etc. Square stock
can be made into precision round shafts used for
axles, spindles, leadscrews, punches, etc.
The maximum size of workpiece a lathe can cut
is determined by the swing, which is the distance
from the center line of the spindle to the bed,
and the throw, which is the maximum distance
between the tailstock and the spindle. However,
this lathe features an open spindle that allows lon-
ger workpieces to extend through the headstock.
The carriage, which moves left and right, is
equipped with a power feed system for automated
cutting and threading operations.

INTRODUCTION

Manual Accuracy
We are proud to provide a high-quality owner's
manual with your new machine!
We made every effort to be exact with the instruc-
tions, specifications, drawings, and photographs

our policy of continuous improvement also means
that sometimes the machine you receive is
slightly different than shown in the manual.
If you find this to be the case, and the difference
between the manual and machine leaves you
confused or unsure about something, check our
website for an updated version. We post current

site at www.grizzly.com.
Alternatively, you can call our Technical Support
for help. Before calling, make sure you write down
