G0586 8" X 75" Deluxe Jointer -7-
⚠WARNING
Additional Safety for Jointers
- JOINTER KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table by the force of the cutterhead. Always use push blocks and safety glasses to reduce the likelihood of injury from "kickback." If you do not understand what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.
- CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the top edge of the outfeed table aligned with the edge of the knife at top dead center (TDC) to avoid kickback and personal injuries.
- PUSH BLOCKS. Always use push blocks whenever surface planing. Never pass your hands directly over the cutterhead without a push block.
- WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Supporting the workpiece adequately at all times while cutting is crucial for making safe cuts and avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece.
- KICKBACK ZONE. The "kickback zone" is the path directly through the end of the infeed table. Never stand or allow others to stand in this area during operation.
- MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. The maximum cutting depth for one pass is 1/8". Never attempt any single cut deeper than this!
- JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing against the grain or jointing end grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.
- KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. With the exception of rabbeting, all operations must be performed with the guard in place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace the guard.
- PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always keep the workpiece moving toward the outfeed table until the workpiece has passed completely over the cutterhead. Never back the work toward the infeed table.
- USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety begins with your lumber. Inspect your stock carefully before you feed it over the cutterhead. Never joint a board that has loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have any doubts about the stability or structural integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!
⚠WARNING Like all machines there is danger associated with the Model G0586. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
⚠CAUTION No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

Cutterhead Guard
CAUTION
The cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature on this machine. A torsion spring is mounted on the cutterhead guard shaft to help it return to its proper position over the cutterhead after a cutting operation. This torsion spring must have spring pressure during guard installation to work properly.
To install the cutterhead guard:
- Wind the tang on the torsion spring back a half turn, and slide the guard shaft into the casting so the spring tang points to the right and rests against the casting, as shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Guard mounted with spring tang in the correct position for proper return tension.
- Test the guard by pulling it back and letting go.
—The guard should snap back over the cutterhead without dragging across the table. If it does, tighten the shaft lock.
—If the guard drags across the table, raise it until it won't drag, then tighten the shaft lock.
—If the guard does not snap back, remove it and repeat Steps 1 & 2, increasing the spring tension as needed.

SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Safety
WARNING
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine.

WARNING
Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing and long hair away from moving machinery.

NOTICE
If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects. Regardless of the content in this section, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.
Stock Inspection and Requirements
Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock:
-
DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains knots. Injury to the operator or damage to the workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged during the cutting operation.
-
DO NOT joint or surface plane against the grain direction. Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood of stock kickback, as well as tear-out on the workpiece.
-
Jointing and surface planing with the grain produces a better finish and is safer for the operator. Cutting with the grain is described as feeding the stock on the jointer so the grain points down and toward you as viewed on the edge of the stock (Figure 19).
Note—If the grain changes direction along the edge of the board, decrease the cutting depth and make additional passes.

Figure 19. Correct and incorrect grain alignment to cutterhead.



• Remove foreign objects from the stock. Make sure that any stock you process with the jointer is clean and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that may damage the jointer blades.
• Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials.
• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing. Wood with a moisture content over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the knives and poor cutting results.
• Make sure your workpiece exceeds the minimum dimension requirements (Figures 20 & 21) before edge jointing or surface planing, or it may break or kick back during the operation!
Figure 20. Minimum dimensions for edge jointing.
Figure 21. Minimum dimensions for surface planing.
Squaring Stock
Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the order below:
1. Surface Plane On The Jointer—The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer.

2. Surface Plane On a Thickness Planer—The opposite face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with a thickness planer.

3. Edge Joint On The Jointer—The concave edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer.

4. Rip Cut On A Table Saw—The jointed edge of the workpiece is placed against a table saw fence and the opposite edge cut off.


Surface Planing
The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 22 & 23) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.
Figure 22. Typical surface planing operation.
Figure 23. Illustration of surface planing results.
To surface plane on the jointer:
- Read and understand Section 1: Safety, beginning on Page 6.
- Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 19.
- Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest 1/32" for surface planing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.)
- Make sure your fence is set to 90°
- If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.
- Start the jointer.
WARNING
Failure to use push blocks when surface planing may result in cutterhead contact, which will cause serious personal injury. Always use push blocks to protect your hands when surface planing on the jointer.
- With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.
Note—If your leading hand (with push block) gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
- Repeat Step 7 until the entire surface is flat.
G0586 8" X 75" Deluxe Jointer -21-
Edge Jointing
The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 24 & 25) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.
Figure 24. Typical edge jointing operation.
Figure 25. Illustration of edge jointing results.
To edge joint on the jointer:
- Read and understand Section 1: Safety, beginning on Page 6.
- Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 19.
- Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest between 1/16" and 1/8" for edge jointing, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.)
- Make sure the fence is set to 90°.
- If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.
- Start the jointer.
- Press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure. Use your trailing hand to guide the workpiece through the cut, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.
Note—If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place it on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
- Repeat Step 7 until the entire edge is flat.

Bevel Cutting
The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (see Figures 26 & 27).
The Model G0586 has preset fence stops at 45° inward, 90°, and 45° outward (135°). If your situation requires a different angle, the preset fence stops can be easily adjusted for your needs.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.
Figure 26. Typical bevel cutting operation.
Figure 27. Illustration of bevel cutting results.
G0586 8" X 75" Deluxe Jointer
To bevel cut on the jointer:
- Read and understand Section 1: Safety, beginning on Page 6.
- Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 19.
- Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest between 1/16" and 1/8" for bevel cutting, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.)
- Make sure your fence is set to the angle of your desired cut.
- If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.
- Start the jointer.
- With a push block in your leading hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.
Note—If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
- Repeat Step 7 until the angled cut is satisfactory to your needs.

Rabbet Cutting
The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove a section of the workpiece edge (see Figures 28 & 29). When combined with another rabbet cut edge, the rabbet joints create a simple, yet strong method of joining stock.
NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.
Figure 28. Typical rabbet cutting operation.
Figure 29. Illustration of rabbet cutting effects and a few sample joints.
To rabbet cut on the jointer:
- Read and understand Section 1: Safety, beginning on Page 6.
- Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 19.
- Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We suggest between 1/16" and 1/8" for rabbet cutting, using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.)
- Remove the cutterhead guard.
- Make sure your fence is moved forward, so the amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed is the same as the size of your rabbet. Also, make sure your fence is set to 90°
- Start the jointer.
- With a push block in each hand, press the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.
Note—If your leading hand gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
- Repeat Step 6 until the your rabbet is cut to depth.
WARNING
When the cutterhead guard is removed, attempting any other cut besides a rabbet directly exposes the operator to the moving cutterhead. Always replace the cutterhead guard after rabbet cutting!

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
! WARNING Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
Schedule
For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.
Daily:
- Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.
- Wipe down tables and all other unpainted cast iron with a metal protectant.
Monthly Check:
- V-belt tension, damage, or wear.
- Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off of motor.
V-Belts
To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belts must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and properly aligned and tensioned (refer to the instructions on Page 13).
Cleaning
Cleaning the Model G0586 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like , G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.
Table ways and the fence assembly should not be lubricated. If the tables appear to be stuck, disassemble and clean any foreign materials from the ways. Re-assemble and reset the gibs.





SECTION 7: SERVICE
! WARNING Always disconnect power to the machine before performing service adjustments. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
About Service
This section is designed to help the operator with adjustments that were made at the factory and that might also need to be made during the life of the machine.
This section is provided for your convenience—it is not a substitute for the Grizzly Service Department.
If any adjustments arise that are not described in this manual or you are unsure of how to perform the procedures in this section, then feel free to call Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
I nspecting Knives
The height of the knives can be easily and quickly inspected with the knife setting jig. This inspection will ensure that the knives are set in the cutterhead as they should be. Usually this is done before calibrating the outside table or when troubleshooting.
To inspect the knives:
- Disconnect the jointer from the power source!
- Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out of the way.
- Lower the infeed table to the 1/2" scale mark.
- Place the knife jig on the cutterhead, directly over a knife, as shown in Figure 42.
Middle Pad
Figure 42. Jig positioned over cutterhead knife.
- Carefully inspect how the jig touches the cutterhead and the knife.
—If both outside legs of the jig sit firmly on the cutterhead and the middle pad just touches the knife, then that knife is set correctly. (Repeat this inspection with the other knives.)
—If the jig does not sit firmly on the cutterhead and touch the knife edge as described, then reset that knife. (Repeat this inspection with the other knives before resetting.)
G0586 8" X 75" Deluxe Jointer -29-

Setting Knives
Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others.
The knife jig included with the jointer is designed to set the knives at the correct height.
The Grizzly 8" Jointers come with both jack screws and springs to provide you with two options for cutterhead adjustments (see Figure 43). Note—Only one of these options is needed to set the knives—see Step 5* for clarification.
Loosen
Tighten
Knife
Spring
Jack Screw
Gib
Gib Bolt
Figure 43. Cutterhead profile diagram.
To set the knives:
-
Disconnect the jointer from the power source!
-
Remove the cutterhead guard from the table and lower the infeed and outfeed tables as far as they go. This will give you unrestricted access to the cutterhead.
-
Remove the belt guard to expose the cutterhead pulley.
-
Rotate the cutterhead pulley to give you good access to one of the cutterhead knives.
-
Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting in the middle, and alternating back and forth until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not falling out.
Note—If this is the first time you are setting the knives, remove the gib and knife from the cutterhead. Decide which adjustment option you are going to use between the jack screws and the springs. If you decide to use the jack screws, remove the springs from the cutterhead. If you decide to use the springs, you can just thread the jack screws completely into the cutterhead so they will not get lost. Replace the gib and knife.
-
Position the knife gauge over the knife as shown in Figure 42 and loosen the gib bolts until the knife is completely loose.
-
Jack Screws—Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (Figure 44) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch the middle pad of the knife setting jig. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7 with the rest of the knives.
Figure 44. Jack screw access hole.
Springs—Push the knife down with the jig so that the knife edge is touching the middle pad of the jig. Hold the jig down and tighten the gib bolts just tight enough to hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7 with the rest of the knives.
-30- G0586 8" X 75" Deluxe Jointer
-
Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you started with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts, starting at the ends and working your way to the middle by alternating left and right. Repeat this step on the rest of the knives.
-
Repeat Step 8.
-
Repeat Step 8, but final tighten each gib bolt.
-
Adjust the outfeed table to match the new knife heights.
Calibrating Depth Scale
The depth scale on the infeed table can be calibrated or "zeroed" if it is not correct.
To calibrate the depth scale:
-
Set the outfeed table height as described in the Outfeed Table Height sub-section.
-
Place a straightedge across the infeed and outfeed tables.
-
Adjust the infeed table until it is level with the outfeed table, as illustrated in Figure 45.

Figure 45. Infeed table adjusted even with outfeed table and knife at TDC.
- Using a screwdriver, adjust the scale pointer exactly to “0” (Figure 46).

Figure 46. Depth-of-cut pointer adjusted to “0” position.


Setting Fence Stops
The fence stops are adjustable nuts and bolts that simplify the task of adjusting the fence to 45° inward, 90°, and 45° outward (135°).
To set the 45° inward fence stop:
- Using a 45° square, adjust the fence to the 45° inward position, as shown in Figure 47.

Figure 47. Adjusting fence 45° inward.
- Loosen the jam nut shown in Figure 48.

Figure 48. 45° inward fence stop jam nut.
-
Adjust the 45° inward fence stop nut until it makes contact with the back of the fence bracket.
-
Retighten the jam nut loosened in Step 2.
To set the 90° fence stop:
- Using a 90° square, adjust the fence to the 90° position, as shown in Figure 49.

Figure 49. Adjusting fence to 90°.
- Flip the 90° swing stop into the position shown in Figure 50.

Figure 50. 90° swing stop engaged.
-
Loosen the jam nut on the 90° fence stop bolt (Figure 50).
-
Adjust the 90° fence stop bolt until it makes contact with the 90° swing stop.
-
Retighten the jam nut loosened in Step 3.
Continued on next page →
To set the 45° outward fence stop:
- Using a sliding bevel adjusted to 135°, adjust the fence to the 135° (45° outward) position.

Figure 51. Adjusting fence 45° outward.
- Loosen the jam nut on the 45° outward fence stop bolt (Figure 52).

Figure 52. 45° outward fence stop jam nut.
-
Adjust the 45° outward fence stop bolt until it makes contact with the back of the fence.
-
Retighten the jam nut loosened in Step 2.
Adjusting Gibs
The function of the table gibs is to eliminate excessive play in the table movement. The gibs also control how easy it will be to move the tables up and down.
To adjust the table gibs:
- Using a 12mm wrench, loosen the two outfeed table gib nuts on the side of the jointer base (Figure 53).

Figure 53. Outfeed table gib controls.
- Using a 4mm hex wrench, evenly tighten both gib setscrews a small amount, then check the table by moving it up and down. Adjust the setscrews as needed until the friction of the table movement is balanced between minimal play and ease of movement.
Note—Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder to adjust the tables.
-
Repeat Steps 1-2 with the other table.
-
Set the outfeed table height as described in Outfeed Table Height on Page 14.
