Hi -- I have an oldie-but-goodie grinder (7" Rockwell/Delta 3/4hp 1ph 120/240v). Works great but the brake has stopped working. How does the brake work and how do I fix it? Is it a resistor inside the motor case or what? Thanks for your help!!
I have one of these - picked up for $15 at a garage sale in Wisconsin eons ago. Great grinder, cast iron guards, very heavy, incredibly smooth. But it has a brake? I never realized that... must not be working on mine either ... takes ages to spin down. Isn't there the danger of unthreading the wheels while braking?
I wonder if changing the switch to one that shorted the motor leads
when turned off would slow the motor faster.
