In this instructional video by Evan, an engineer at Grizzly, he demonstrates how to install an additional pair of eccentrics included with the G0555 LX and LA band saws to accommodate a 1/8 inch blade. He explains that these eccentrics are only needed for the 1/8 inch blade and only the upper set needs to be replaced. Evan begins by removing the cap screws holding the guide bearings in place and then replaces the 3/8 inch eccentrics with the new ones. After locking the new blade guides in place and adding the bearings, he tightens down the cap screws. Next, he demonstrates how to remove the old blade, open the upper and lower doors, remove the table pin and table insert, decrease the blade tension, and finally remove the blade. Once the new blade is installed and tensioned properly, Evan adjusts the upper and lower blade guides according to the manual. He concludes the video by encouraging viewers to reach out with any suggestions for future instructional videos.
