Brake & Switch
V-belts stretch and wear with use, so check them
on a monthly basis to ensure optimal power
transmission. Replace all of the V-belts if any of
them show signs of glazing, fraying, or cracking.

As the brake lining wears, the foot pedal
develops more travel. If the brake band is not
adjusted to compensate for normal wear, the
limit switch will still turn the lathe off, but the
spindle will not stop as quickly. It is especially
important that the brake is kept properly
adjusted so you can quickly stop the spindle in
an emergency.

When the brake band is new, the lining
is approximately 6mm thick. If the lining
thickness wears to 3mm or less, the brake
band must be replaced; otherwise, the rivets
that secure the lining to the band will soon
grind into the brake hub. If the hub becomes
damaged, it must be replaced, which will
substantially increase the cost of repair,
compared to just replacing the brake band.
