The FB brakes are electric release, so if the power goes out, the brake activates. The HNC uses the FB-475, but I got an FB-650 so cheap I am going to use it instead. It's a bigger brake with twice the torque, but that might be okay. The FB-375 above, would be good for a smaller CNC lathe. These are _very_ expense normally. Also, it is not serviceable (and I have tried), when the pads wear out, you have to replace the whole thing. (Check the Warner website to confirm the specifications.) -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
