Next question, Bandsaw brake material, Delta model 20

[Larry Edgerton]

In case you haven't guessed I am in the shop for a few days doing some long overdue chores. I've been too busy on site for the last couple of years.

OK, like the title says I need to reline a brake on a Delta Model 20. If you can save me some searching, great.

Thanks again, Larry

If I had known Van Huskey was going to disappear I would have started this last year.

McMaster.com has lots of brake lining choices to pick from. You could probably call them for advice on which one would work best.

Scrap leather/rawhide from a tack shop?

McMaster Carr has what you need. I got mine there when I rebuilt my PM 81.

Carroll has your answer right here Mike, a foot does the pad 4-5 times. It was what I was going to post until I saw CC mention it. This is the "standard" fix for vintage brake shoes on machines. You want the non-metallic strip. I am not at home but I think its the 2" wide version, I also think it is 5/16" or 3/8" thick.
