   Please clarify if this Grizz has a height adjustment lock or not.

   It's hard to imagine that there's not enough friction in the elevation mechanism to prevent this.  Maybe a spring or fibre or nylon washer has given up the ghost.  Something's got to be loose or vibrating severly?  In the meantime fight fire with fire.  Hang a heavier weight on the handwheel at six o'clock.John O'Connell - JKO Handcrafted Woodworking

   Forestgirl,

   Heigth adjustment lock--sounds like something I would really like to have. No my Griz doesn't have one. What make and models should I be looking at that do have such a lock? I'll be looking at cabnet saws soon as my budget allows (not likely to be real soon so I'll have time to research).

   Mike, most saws have a small knob in the center of the large adjustment wheel, which tightens up and "locks" the adjustment wheel.  Not all though, as you well know!  Some time last year I remember reading a description of how that adjustment works on a non-locking saw, but didn't commit it to memory.

   You really should call Grizzly and get a techie on the phone.  He (or she, LOL) should be able to walk you through fixing the problem.  Their customer service number is (570)546-9663.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   I've got the same problem with my Grizzly TS. But every time it's a problem, I'm in the middle of a project and can't take time to figure it out and fix it.  Until I get a "round tooit" I have a "mini quick clamp" that I use to clamp the wheel in place once I set it. I insert one clamp face thru the wheel shaft slot and grab the inside of the sheet metal housing to clamp the wheel.

      I again will agree with FG. You need to speak to Griz Tech and see if they can analize the problem. I would have a good look underneath b-4 calling to see if it is anything apparent. If it is, just order the replacement part. The sooner you repair it, the better for the sake of precision and safety.
