Safety Foot Brake

This lathe is equipped with a foot brake (see

Figure 9) to quickly stop the spindle instead of

allowing it to coast to a stop on its own.

Pressing the foot brake disengages the spindle

clutch from the motor drive train inside the

headstock.

After the foot brake is used, the spindle lever is

used to re-start spindle rotation.
