Kent from Grizzly introduces a how-to video demonstrating the proper process of changing the spindle in a G1035 or G1026 shaper. Joined by engineer Shawn, they emphasize the importance of following safety procedures and recommend familiarizing oneself with the owner's manual before starting. They advise disconnecting the power source and loosening the overhead guard before removing the rear cover of the shaper cabinet. The procedure for both models involves loosening the drawbar nut, removing the spindle, threading the drawbar into the new spindle, ensuring a clean spindle cartridge, aligning the notch in the spindle with the pin in the cartridge, and tightening the drawbar nut. Finally, they discuss installing shaper cutters, adjusting them, and replacing the overhead guard before powering on the machine.
