Outfeed Table
Spiral Cutterhead
Facing the fence, the outfeed table is located to
the left of the cutterhead. The outfeed table must
be aligned to the highest point of the arc of the
knife edges. If the outfeed table is set too high,
the board will hit the front edge of the outfeed
table and will be impossible to feed over the join-
ter. If the outfeed table is set too low, the trailing
end of the board will fall into the cutterhead and
snipe will occur.
1. Rotate the cutterhead by turning the motor
pulley. DO NOT grab the cutterhead itself.
Bring a knife edge to the approximate apex of
its arc. Engage the brake rod to securely posi-
tion the cutterhead.
2. Loosen the outfeed table lock knob located on
the center of the outfeed table handwheel.
Rotate the outfeed table handwheel until the
outfeed table is nearly flush with the knife
edge.
3. Position a steel straightedge on the outfeed
table. Extend the straightedge over the middle
of the cutterhead as shown in Figure 12.
The Model G9860ZX is equipped with a spiral
cutterhead. The indexed square carbide cutters
have four separate cutting surfaces that can be
rotated as needed. If one of the cutters becomes
damaged or dull, rotate the cutter to reveal the
fresh cutting surface. Each edge of the indexed
cutter is marked for easy identification. When an
indexed cutter needs to be replaced, please order
part #H2334 from the current Grizzly catalog.
2. Loosen the outfeed table lock knob located on
the center of the outfeed table handwheel.
Rotate the outfeed table handwheel until the
outfeed table is nearly flush with the knife
edge.
3. Position a steel straightedge on the outfeed
table. Extend the straightedge over the middle
of the cutterhead as shown in Figure 12.

4. Raise or lower the outfeed table with the out-
feed table handwheel until the straightedge
barely touches the knife edge. Rock the cut-
terhead to ensure that the blade edge is at the
highest point of its arc. Check the other two
blades in the same manner. If they do not all
touch the straightedge evenly, they are not at
the same height. You must reset the knives.
Be sure to test the height at both ends of the
cutter knives. The knives must be parallel to
the table surface.
5. Tighten the outfeed table lock knob.
6. Recheck the outfeed table alignment with
each of the cutterhead knives and re-adjust as
necessary.
7. Once properly set, the outfeed table height will
only need to be changed when the knives are
resharpened.
