Zero-Clearance Fence - Grizzly T31634 Owner's Manual

Zero-Clearance
Fence
The fences on the Model T31634/T31635 have
an opening between them to allow for various
bevel angle cuts without contact with the blade.
However, with smaller workpieces, this doesn't
offer much support and can lead to chipping at the
edges during the cut. Attaching a zero-clearance
fence will prevent this while also offering the
utmost support for workpieces.
To make a zero-clearance fence:
1. Cut a 1 x 4 to desired fence length.
Note: We recommend jointing and planing
the board to make sure it is square and flat.
2. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
3. Clamp board to front of existing fence so it is
secure along its length (see Figure 66).

4. Set miter angle to zero as described on Page
18.
5. Pull cutting head down and lock.
6.
Lay a framing square flat on miter table
pressed against zero-clearance fence and
flat part of blade (not teeth).
— If frame is flush against both fence and
blade then fence is adjusted correctly and
you may proceed to Step 10.
— If front or back edge of saw blade is not
flush with framing square, proceed to Step
7.
7. Loosen fence screws pictured in Figure 67.

8. Adjust fence until zero-clearance fence is
square with blade, then secure setting by
tightening screws.
9. Check miter scale indicator to see that it
points at zero on scale. If it does not, loosen
indicator screw and reposition before tighten-
ing to secure.
10. Connect saw to power and cut kerf opening
with saw using standard push cut.
