Not working in what way? I used the lathe, this afternoon, and the foot bar would stop the lathe, but I had to pull it back up with my foot to reset it.
When I used it, the foot brake would not stop the lathe. It would turn the motor off, but wouldn’t brake. I would have to then manually raise the foot brake into the up and semi-locked position for the motor to work.
