Barrett True Arc Brake Shoe Radius Grinder

[LindaMcFarland]

Does anyone have any technical information on this machine, i.e. How to set it back to factory specs?

Purchased this machine with no instruction booklet and want to re- arch my 1929 Ford brakes.

Can you post a few photos of the machine?

Need to see if it is similar to the one I used. I don't have any written info but might be able to help in its adjustments.

There are a couple different versions of the Barrett Brake DocTor. Pictures a must.

I would use it as the instructions say and see how the linings end up fitting your drum. The arcing machines usually set toe and heel clearance automatically after you set the drum and over size up.I have not seen that machine. Sure looks Good though!

 

Do you think it's out of calibration?

 

Google is the only way I'd probably find any info on that machine.   http://www.use.com/BPFPJ?p=10
