" x 10" Metal-Cutting Bandsaw
Blade Selection
The Model G4030 uses 85" 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 24.
3. Fill the reservoir 3 ⁄
4
full with cutting fluid.
4. Position the fluid nozzle over the cut so the
blade will be cooled and rinsed of chips. A
chip tray is provided to catch over-spray and
small parts (see Figure 20).
Cutting Fluid System
FIRE HAZARD! DO NOT
cut magnesium when
using oil-water solutions
as a cutting fluid! Always
use a cutting fluid intend-
ed for magnesium. The
water in the solution will
cause a magnesium-chip
fire.
This bandsaw has a built-in cutting fluid system
that extends the life of your bandsaw blades
by lowering the temperature of the blade and
workpiece, and washing away chips.
See Cutting Fluid on Page 21 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 as
shown in Figure 19 in the reservoir. 5. Adjust the valve on the coolant hose to con-
trol the flow of coolant. Make sure that the
pressure is not so high that coolant spills on
the floor and creates a slipping hazard.
6. Turn the pump toggle switch ON before mak-
ing your cut.
NOTICE: NEVER operate the pump with the res-
ervoir below the low mark or you will over-heat
the pump!
