Problems with shaper
Hi All,
I just bought a used Grizzly G1035 shaper and I was hoping someone could help me with a couple of minor problems. The first, and most important, is that the spindle is not perfectly vertical from side to side; that is to say, while the spindle is an equal distance from the edges of the hole in the table insert from front to back, it is almost touching the table insert on one side, and very far from it on the other. I have studied the manual, but have not seen any information on how to adjust the spindle. Can anyone help? Secondly, the table inserts seem to be VERY tight. It was extremely difficult for me to remove them from the table. Is this normal? Should I sand the edges lightly or something to make them looser in the opening? The only thing I could think of to adjust the spindle was to adjust the gib, but I thought I would check first. Another problem I seem to be having is that the spindle is very difficult to move up and down, even with the spindle lock backed off, which also suggests to me that the gib is adjusted wrong, but I am not sure. Thanks in advance, lawnturnips |

I'm not sure I udnerstand correctly but doesn't the motor/spindle assembly hang on three or four bolts inter the table? Couldn't you, using some shim stock adjust and shim the assembly? I'm sure I don't understand...the vertical alignment would be whether the shaft is square to the table, but he's talking (apprently) about centering the shaft in the table shaft/cutter clearance hole??? |
