Blade Speed - Grizzly EXTREME G0513X2 Owner's Manual

Blade Speed

The blade speed can be adjusted to 1700 or 3500
FPM. Speed adjustments are made by moving
the V-belt position on the motor and wheel pul-
leys.
Most woodcutting can be performed successfully
at the higher blade speeds. Slower blade speeds
generally produce better results when cutting
hardwoods, intricate curves, or when an excep-
tionally smooth cut is desired.
To adjust the blade speed:
1. DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the motor mount cap screws shown
in Figure 47 and rotate the motor to loosen
the V-belt.

belt position for the desired blade speed.
