Hey, everybody, and welcome to the shop.
My name is Jameson, and today I'm going to be walking you through the setup
and test run of the G1026 3 horsepower shaper.
Let's get started. Inside the crate, you'll find the shaper,
the magnetic switch and the forward and reverse switch.
With everything uncrated, we're looking really good now.
The remaining boxes are inside, so let's undo the back panel.
This box that's connected to the motor has your magnetic switch and your forward
and reverse switch, so we're going to unbox this
and place it back inside and close up the rear of the machine.
Everything is inventoried and looking really good,
and now it's time for some cleanup.
Let's start here.
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy duty rust
preventative for shipping, and it can take a little bit of time to remove.
You want to avoid harsh solvents like acetone or brake
part cleaner when removing this coating, as it can damage painted surfaces.
You even want to make sure that you get in
and actually clean out the spindle housing
and the inserts.
With all the unpainted services looking really nice
and clean, it's time to consider where to place this machine.
So for this, I'm going to flip things around
and then look around my shop to determine where I have good clearance for infeed
and outfeed for something like trim molding Being close to the proper plug,
which in this case is a 6-15, 220-Volt plug in is essential.
Now you can have an extension cord for a machine the size,
but you do want to keep that extension cord to a minimum size,
if possible, to reduce voltage drop over distance.
Another consideration is having about 30 inches from a wall
to the back of the machine.
That gives you plenty of clearance to work behind the machine. With
the machine on the ground.
It's time to start assembly, so let's begin by removing this motor cover.
Inside, you're going to find two shipping braces
and you want to make sure you keep the hex bolt, hex nut,
and flat washer from each, but remove the red items. Re-install
the fasteners removed earlier, remove the grommet plate, forward/reverse switch
and magnetic switch from the cabinet, then re-install the motor cover.
Install the grommet plate to the motor cover using the screws and nuts
that were already mounted. Next, install the forward
and reverse to the cabinet using the pre mounted screws. Directly
above the forward/ reverse is the magnetic switch mounting location.
Connect the Switch with the pre-mounted screws as well. On
the front of the machine, install the handwheel onto the handwheel shaft,
then tighten the setscrew on the back side
onto the flat spot of the handwheel shaft.
Next, it's time to set up the spindle.
Now, I have a three-quarter-inch spindle right here, and the drawbar,
the drawbar has threads on each end and a tapered nut.
So you're going to want to remove that.
And then inserted into the bottom
of the spindle, rotate the drawbar ten to 15 times to seat that properly,
place the assembly into the spindle cartridge here, making sure to align
the key way in the bottom of the spindle with the pin in the spindle cartridge.
Use the included spindle wrench on top and an open-ended wrench below the table
and snug the draw bar nut.
I say snug because you want it tight,
but not excessively tight....if that makes sense.
With the spindle in place Let's move on to the table inserts.
The machine comes with three insert sizes,
giving you four possible opening diameters on the table,
depending on the size of cutter you plan to use.
There are two aluminum inserts and one cast iron insert.
The cast iron insert must be flush with the top of the table,
and you can check and adjust that using a simple straight edge
and a flat head screwdriver to level the insert
all around. With the insert installed
and everything leveled up, it's time to move on to the extension.
Start by removing the pre-installed hardware
and then ensure that the mating surface is nice and smooth.
Both here and on the extension wing itself.
Install the wing starting on one side by reusing the hardware
that you removed a moment ago and work your way across.
Remember to keep them a little loose so we can adjust the height. Once
all the bolts are inserted, go back and forth and flush the top
surface. Use a straight edge to check the table flatness
if the table tilts up or down slightly on the end.
You can actually use masking tape as a shim.
The final bolt and table section may need
a little bit of clamping force or a rubber mallet to get it to align perfectly.
But don't worry, this is totally normal.
Tables installed, ready to go--time to put the fence
on. Now, it's time to put together the guard assembly to do that.
Well, follow this diagram.
And while you're doing that, I'm going to put this one together. Once
the guard is assembled, mount it directly to the table, as shown here.
It's always really important
to adjust the safety guard height with each work piece and to get as close
to the cutting area as possible without interfering with the work piece
or any jigs or fixtures. You can also install
the hold downs that are included, as shown here, to properly
press down on the work piece and keep it tight to the fence.
These are great general purpose, hold downs and install quickly. The
next step before test run is if you have the optional three
inch dust port is to connect that to the backside of the fence.
And then we're on to the test run.
And we recommend having a minimum of 400 CFM for dust collection for a shaper.
And we do have a huge selection of dustports and collection
fittings and hoses on Grizzly.com.
With that installed. It's time to get on to the test run.
Connect the machine
to power and turn the forward/reverse switch to the forward position.
Then press the on button,
let the motor start up completely, then press the off button.
Next, rotate to switch to the reverse position, then turn the machine on,
let the motor start up completely, then press the off button.
And that's it. We've inventoried, placed the machine, assembled it and done
a test run of your new shaper. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up.
