Lathe Chuck Brake

[LMMasterMariner]

Hello Doug,

Thanks for your comments.
This is actually motorbike brake caliper and it's good enough for lathe of this size.
I have seen car brake caliper and big disc mounted on electric motor shaft
of big Daewoo lathe. That brake was foot operated and it was capable of
stopping chuck rotation instantly at low revolutions, but at 1500 RPM it took
couple of revolutions until it stopped.

Regards
LMMM
