My big FB600 has a foot pedal that both cuts the motor (very delicate adjustment there) and pushes a rubber brake pad into the rim of the lower wheel to stop it / slow it down.? The problem is it usually screams like a banshee.?
?
The last time I replaced the brake pad (which is a bit of a process because you have to remove the table insert, the blade, the drive belt, and the lower wheel), I cleaned the surface that the brake contacts really well with a tool cleaner spray - after this is was 100% silent.? But after some normal usage, the sound came back, maybe within in a couple weeks.? Dust collection system is solid, so I wouldn't expect any abnormal about of sawdust buildup.??
?
Has anyone found a solution to this terrible sound, short of disassembling everything to clean it?? I'm hesitant to put anything else onto that surface, but all ears to solutions that folks have!? Thanks.
