Hi all,
I'm reconditioning a Centauro 20" woodworking bandsaw. The saw has a foot operated brake for stopping the driven wheel. When I disassembled the bottom wheel, the brake pad on the foot brake was worn completely down to metal and needs to be replaced. This is a specialty item on an ancient bandsaw so the part will not be available locally.
I am assuming I can replace the pad with a lining material available from an auto parts supplier. What is the best method to attach the new lining to the pad (epoxy)? Will lining material be able to be formed to an arc to match the drum circumference?
Thanks for any help.
