Brake Inspection & Replacement
The linkage geometry on this lathe is non adjustable. Before replacing the brake shoes, verify that all fasteners are tight, and all clevis pins and yokes have minimal wear. As pivot points wear, the increased slop in the linkage absorbs the usable stroke that is required for full brake application. If the brake does not stop the lathe as fast as it should, before replacing the brake shoes, verify that the linkage is not worn and is the cause of the problem.
