From the grizzly.com listing: R-8 spindle, table 7-1/16 x 26-5/8, 18-7/8 in table travel; the briefs do not give a footprint, read the listing.
The Grizzly briefs we work from do not give the footprint of this machine, so the plan uses a planning allowance of 36 x 30 in. Read the listing before you commit floor space.
Fit in each garage size
| Garage | Alone, operator room | Car parked, working | Car parked, stored | Share of floor |

| One-car, 12 x 20 | yes | no | no | 3% |
| One-car, 12 x 22 | yes | yes | yes | 3% |
| Two-car, 20 x 20 | yes | yes | yes | 2% |
| Two-car, 22 x 22 | yes | yes | yes | 2% |

| Three-car, 32 x 24 | yes | yes | yes | 1% |
"Operator room" keeps 30 in clear around the machine, and "stored" drops that zone, for a machine you roll out only when the car is gone. Both leave a 24 in apron in front of the overhead door and a 30 in walk-around beside any parked sedan. In a 12 x 20 ft garage with a car inside, this machine has to be stored elsewhere.
Electrical and moving it
- Circuit: 12 A at 120V on the listing: a 15 A breaker and 14 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC Table 430.248 amps the same 1 HP motor comes to 20 A and 12 AWG on a 30 ft run. Have a licensed electrician confirm.
- Moving it: at 372 lb a mobile base rated 490 lb or more is the minimum, for example the WEN Mobile Base.
- Delivery: machines this heavy usually arrive by freight on a pallet. Plan the path from the curb to the bay, the door width and who helps you lift.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Grizzly G0704 fit in a one-car garage?
Yes, in a 12 x 20 ft one-car garage with no vehicle it fits with its operator zone clear and uses 3 percent of the floor. With a sedan parked inside it does not fit at all.
What circuit does the Grizzly G0704 need?
It draws 12 A at 120V (listing), so a 15 A breaker with 14 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC table amps for 1 HP the circuit comes out to a 20 A breaker and 12 AWG copper over a 30 ft run. A licensed electrician confirms the circuit before you wire.
This page is researched guidance, not professional electrical, engineering or safety advice. Circuits, loads and clearances depend on your house, your service and your town: have a licensed electrician confirm any wiring, and check local code and each manufacturer's manual before you act.
