Today I'm making a spindle brake (or spindle lock) for the Grizzly G0602 lathe. The goal is to hold the spindle still while clamping and unclamping the Hardinge speed-collet chuck, and while installing and removing chucks. Without a lock, the spindle turns freely, and the only good way to hold it in place is with a hook spanner, or by opening the door and physically holding the pulleys with your hands. No thanks.

Inspiration for the design came from Bison Workshop:    • grizzly g0602 spindle brake mod
