Brake Service
The brake linkage on this lathe is not adjustable.
As pivot points wear, the increased play in
the linkage absorbs the usable stroke that is
required for full brake application.
If the brake does not stop the lathe quickly,
verify that the linkage is not excessively worn or
damaged and that all fasteners are tight before
replacing the brake shoes.
