"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.

Stock clearance

This is a stock-fed machine. For 8 ft boards it needs about 16 ft of clear line; the 12 x 20 bay offers 20 ft with nothing else in it and 22 ft in a 22 x 22. Where the bay is short, the answer is an outfeed support that folds away or a mobile base that rolls the machine to the open middle.

Electrical and moving it

  • Circuit: 14 A at 240V on the listing: a 20 A breaker and 12 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC Table 430.248 amps the same 3 HP motor comes to 25 A and 10 AWG on a 30 ft run. Have a licensed electrician confirm.
  • Moving it: at 508 lb (shipping weight) a mobile base rated 670 lb or more is the minimum, for example the VEVOR 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 G1023RL 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 9 percent of the floor. With a sedan parked inside it does not fit at all.

What circuit does the Grizzly G1023RL need?

It draws 14 A at 240V (listing), so a 20 A breaker with 12 AWG copper covers the 125 percent rule. On NEC table amps for 3 HP the circuit comes out to a 25 A breaker and 10 AWG copper over a 30 ft run. A licensed electrician confirms the circuit before you wire.
