G8621 5 HP Sliding Table Shaper

Precision, power, and smooth-gliding accuracy for the professional shop.

The Grizzly G8621 5 HP Sliding Table Shaper is engineered for high-production environments and serious woodworkers who need to eliminate the struggle of shaping end grain, cope cuts, or awkward, oversized workpieces. By integrating an extruded-aluminum sliding table, this machine provides the vibration-dampening mass of heavy cast iron combined with the effortless travel of a professional sliding system.

FEATURES and BENEFITS:

• Effortless Sliding Table Performance: The precision-ground cast-iron sliding table rides on eight shielded, lubricated ball bearings, allowing you to move workpieces past the cutter with precision. This system significantly increases operator safety by allowing you to secure the workpiece to the table and keep your hands well away from the cutterhead.
• Massive 5 HP Motor for Production Demands: Built for continuous use, the 5 HP, 220V motor provides the raw torque needed to drive large cutters through the toughest hardwoods without bogging down. This ensures a cleaner finish and reduces the need for secondary sanding.
• Four-Speed Versatility: Optimize your cut quality and extend tool life by matching the spindle speed to your cutter diameter. Use the slower 3,600 RPM setting for large-diameter architectural bits (3-1/2"+) and ramp up to 10,000 RPM for small-profile bits to achieve a glass-smooth finish.
• Interchangeable Spindles: This machine includes 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4" spindles. This versatility allows you to use your entire collection of cutters without relying on unstable bushing stacks, ensuring a safer and more balanced operation.
• Total Control with Reversing Capability: The forward/reverse switch gives you the flexibility to flip cutters and change rotation. This allows you to mill the underside of the board whenever possible, providing better workpiece support and maximum operator protection.
• Micro-Adjustable Two-Piece Fence: The independently adjustable fence system allows for precise setups. You can offset the outfeed fence to provide full support when removing material from the entire face of a board, ensuring straight profiles every time.
• Industrial Hold-Down System: The integrated extruded aluminum miter gauge features a lever-actuated hold-down clamp and an adjustable stop block. This keeps your workpiece locked in place, eliminating "chatter" and ensuring consistent results on repeated cuts.
