G0561 7" x 12" Metal-Cutting Bandsaw
Blade Selection
The Model G0561 uses 93" x
3
⁄4" bandsaw
blades.
Selecting the right blade for the job depends on
a variety of factors, such as the type of mate
-
rial being cut, hardness of the material, machine
capability, and operator technique.
We suggest you do some research for your spe
-
cific situation so you get the best blade to match
your needs.
Grizzly is proud to offer a variety of selections
that can be found in the current catalog and in
SECTION 5: ACCESSORIES on Page 28.
Cutting Fluid System
This bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system
that extends the life of your bandsaw blades by
lowering the cutting temperature and washing
away chips.
See
Cutting Fluid on Page 25 for more informa-
tion
.
To use the cutting fluid system:
1. Thoroughly clean and remove any foreign
material that may have fallen inside the res-
ervoir during shipping.
2. Place the filter screen and drain tube in the
reservoir as shown in Figure 28.
3. Fill the reservoir to the "High" mark with your
chosen cutting fluid solution.

Blade Guides
The blade guides should be as close to the
workpiece as possible. This will help ensure
straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting
and drifting off the cut line.
To adjust the blade guides:
1. Loosen the knob shown in Figure 27 and
slide the rear blade guide as close to the
workpiece as possible, then tighten the
knob.
