If you just bought the machine and it was missing parts Grizzly will gladly take care of you. Call the Tech department and tell them what you need.

Kolwdwrkr, it ISN’T a Grizzly, it is a Reliant which is an orphan machine, it was sold by woodworkers warehouse, which went out of business a couple of years ago, I bought off Craig’s list, the blades were missing, but I thought I had all the rest of the parts. Unfortunately I was missing a screw. So I am trying to find one to match the other 11 that I have. of course most mfg don’t spec what their parts are exactly, fortunately Grizzly says that theirs are 1/4-28 X 9/32 which is what I have, it just doesn’t spec the head size. They give you an 8mm wrench but I suspect that the screw is actually the 5/16 head that I am looking for. 8mm works, is just a bit sloppy. Why would they put a metic head on an SAE thread??? I may need to grind of a few tho to get the exact length, but that I can handle :-)

Fred, I went out to the shop to see if I could get the info you need. I think I got a little confused on exactly what you wanted. According to the parts list, the Gib Screws are 1/4-28×9/32”. I hope this helps you some. If not, you can go to http://www.grizzly.com/products/6-Jointer/G0452 and click on the parts list to get a PDF of all the parts. Let me know how it goes.

jj the length of the screw is 9/32 , the diameter is 1/4 the thread is 28tpi. it doesn’t spec the head size . . .I got the parts manual from their site…. my heads are 5/16 ie a 5/16 wrench fits them, an 8 mm, which they supply also fits, tho imho a bit loosely. I am hoping that the heads on the grizzly screws are the same size, so I can buy 1 and not have to have an odd size wrench, and more importantly so they balance. otherwize I guess I will have to buy 12 of them so they match. could you physicaly try a 5/16 wrench to see if it fits???

thanks

Sorry for the delay Fred. Yes, both the 5/16 and the 8mm fit on the G0452. Both are a little loose, but they should work.

jj—exactly what I wanted, now I know I only need to order one screw, sounds like exactly the same as the one from the Reliant.

Thanks again for your time and effort, buying 1 is better than buying 12 and much much better than the $75 it would have taken to get one machined. I am finding that is is possible to locate parts for my orphan Reliant, with a bit of help from other lumberjocks

Sorry about that Fred. I misread the thread and thought the purchase was from grizzly. I’m glad there are other members here that could help and saving money is a plus too. I hope the project is used on many projects!
