Good morning all,
I have a post 1977 2hp Bridgeport brand series 1.
It has new brakes, and they will stop the spindle cold when I turn the unit off, so no problem there.
However, the brake will not hold the spindle while I try to loosen the drawbar to release or tighten a collet.
The good news, I currently have no collet in the machine, so I'm not stuck, but of course, without a collet in the machine, It's a really pretty sculpture with no real use.
Any ideas?
