Table/Disc Parallelism; Miter Gauge Calibration - Grizzly G0702 Owner's Manual

table/Disc
parallelism
the edge of the table must be parallel with the
face of the sanding disc, and there should be a
gap between the two. this gap should be large
enough so that the sandpaper does not rub
against the table, but small enough so that the
gap is not a pinch hazard.
to make the table and sanding disc parallel:
1. diSConnECt MaChinE FroM poWEr!
2.
using a 10mm wrench, loosen the six hex
bolts that secure the table to the table sup-
port brackets.
3.
adjust the table so that there is a
(figure 17) between the 12" disc (with sand-
paper installed) and the table.

4.
When the table is parallel with the sanding
disc, tighten the hex bolts.
5.
Spin the disc by hand to check if the sandpa-
per is touching the table.
Note: DO NOT turn the disc sander on at this
point.
6. re-adjust the table parallelism if the sandpa-
per touches the table at any point in its rota-
tion.

Miter Gauge
Calibration
at 90˚ the miter gauge should be perpendicular to
the face of the wheel when it is mounted in the
table slot. if not follow this procedure.
to calibrate the miter gauge:
1. diSConnECt MaChinE FroM poWEr!
2.
use a try square or machinist's square with
one edge against the face of the miter gauge
and the other against the disc face, as shown
in figure 18.

3. loosen the lock knob on the miter gauge and
adjust the face of the miter gauge so it is
flush with the edge of the square, tighten the
gauge lock knob, and verify the setting.
4.
using a phillips head screwdriver, loosen the
degree scale pointer, position the pointer on
90˚, and retighten the screw.
5. recheck the miter scale accuracy with the
square.
