Mounting To Shop Floor; Guide Post Handwheel - Grizzly G0636X Owner's Manual

Mounting to
Shop Floor
Although not required, we recommend that you
mount your new machine to the floor. Because
this is an optional step and floor materials may
vary, floor mounting hardware is not included.
However, you must level your machine with a
precision level.
You may also mount your machine to a mobile
base (see Figure 10) that has wheel locking or
wheel retracting capabilities that keep the mobile
base from rolling when the bandsaw is in use.
We recommend using the Grizzly Model D2058A
mobile base.
Bolting to Concrete Floors
Lag shield anchors with lag bolts (Figure 9) and
anchor studs are two popular methods for anchor-
ing an object to a concrete floor. We suggest
you research the many options and methods for
mounting your machine and choose the best that
fits your specific application.
Anchor studs are stronger and more per-
manent alternatives to lag shield anchors;
however, they will stick out of the floor,
which may cause a tripping hazard if you
decide to move your machine.
