trz Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I bought an older Grizzly G1023Z right tilt. Max depth of cut is supposed to be 3 1/8” but, it’s actually only 2 1/4”. Does anyone know how to adjust that so I get the Mac cut I should be getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzaius Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Search online for a manual. It's probably a matter of grease/sawdust gunk that's causing interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcschoenthal Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Are you using a blade stabilizer? That will reduce the cut height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Also if all else fails, Grizzly has some pretty good customer service, give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trz Posted January 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Yup, it’s a ten inch blade, tried to raid it with just the blade ( no stabilizer) didn’t help. Made sure there was no saw dust or anything obstructing it. I’m thinking the previous owner may have had it apart. Wondering if position of worm gear in relation to the mating gear may be off. (just a thought from. looking at it and trying to see what could cause it). Called Grizzly CS and talked to a “technician “ I think she was looking at the same manual I was looking at cause she couldn’t tell me anything I couldn’t already see in the blow-up! need to call them back and see if I can talk to someone that might know more. Still think it might have something to do with how the hand wheel, shaft, worm gear are installed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 You might need to remove the table so you can really see what's going on down there. If you do, watch for shims that may be present at each corner. They need to go back on in the same place each one came off or it will screw up the alignment when the blade is tilted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I would have bet on the blade, with the 1” difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
