Speeds And Feeds - Grizzly WOOD MILL G9959 Instruction Manual

NOTICE
The table stops supplied with the machine
will not stop the powerfeed until the switch
buttons are totally depressed. To set up for
accurate stops make a few "dry runs" with-
out running the Wood Mill. Reset the stops
until the table motion ends in a satisfactory
location.
7. Press the rapid traverse switch with the
lever pushed in the direction of desired
movement to move the table at maximum
velocity.
8. If there is a powerfeed motor overload (i.e.
trying to move too fast through a heavy
cut), the built in circuit breaker will trip, and
the powerfeed will stop. If this occurs, pro-
ceed with these steps:
a. Stop the milling operation.
b. Turn the powerfeed switch to the "Off"
position.
c. Press the circuit breaker reset button
located just to the left of the On/Off
button.
d. Troubleshoot and remedy the cause
of the electrical overload and start
again.

Speeds and Feeds

The Model G9959/77 is supplied with speeds that
can be used for many types of work in both metal
and wood. Care must be taken to use the correct
speed for a given situation. The following guide-
line should be considered when planning a job for
the wood mill. However, if you have questions as
to the proper use of the machine, do not use it.
Contact our service department or a qualified
expert before continuing.
General rules of thumb:
The larger diameter cutters require a slower spin-
dle speed.
The smaller diameter cutters require a faster
spindle speed.
The harder the material, (steel vs. wood) the
slower the spindle speed.
The softer the material, the faster the spindle may
turn. (Plastics can melt at too high of a spindle
speed!)
A deeper cut will require a slower feed rate.
A smaller cutter will require a slower feed rate.
