U.S Industrial Grizzly Industrial 8" x 30" 1-1/2 HP Variable-Speed Knee Mill with Ram Head
This knee mill will be a fine addition to any home shop, school, or job shop!
The G0695 8" x 30" 1-1/2 HP Variable-Speed Knee Mill with Ram Head runs on single-phase power using an inverter.
The state-of-the-art frequency drive inverts and modulates the power to give you smooth speed changes with robust torque.
Now you can have speeds from 200 to 2250 RPM with just the turn of a dial.
The head slides in and out, swivels, and tilts 45° left-to-right, enabling extremely versatile operations.
Features hardened and precision-ground leadscrews, dovetail ways, turret-style column, and fine downfeed on quill.
Like all Grizzly mills, the G0695 comes with a 1-year warranty which covers parts and assures the unit is free from factory defects. (Consumables are not covered by the warranty.)
The G0695 manual was written by our U.S. based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information.
The Grizzly Customer Service and Technical Support Teams are U.S. based. Parts for the mill may be available online and shipped from the Grizzly parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.

Maintenance Tips
-
Keep It Clean: Regularly remove metal chips and debris from the table, ways, and leadscrews to maintain smooth operation.
-
Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply way oil to the table, knee, and ram slides, and grease bearings to reduce wear.
-
Check Belt & Drive System: Inspect the variable-speed belt for wear and replace it if frayed or cracked.
-
Monitor Spindle & Quill: Ensure the spindle runs smoothly, and check quill feed engagement for proper operation.
-
Secure Fasteners & Gibs: Regularly tighten gibs, nuts, and bolts to maintain precision and stability.
-
Inspect Electrical Components: Check wiring, motor, and variable-speed controls for any loose connections or overheating signs.
-
Align & Calibrate Table Movements: Periodically check table travel and tram the head for accurate machining.
-
Maintain Coolant & Chip Management: Clean coolant lines and remove excess chips to prevent clogging and overheating.
