Paul Skyrme:
Just remember that there is no requirement per se for a DC injection brake on a metal working machine.
In fact, I know of one example where by the clever persons fitted a brake and unscrewed the lathe chuck the first time they tried it!...
Also, note that if this is not a DIY project that there is legislation around this which may need to be complied with that you need to be careful of.
A DC injection brake is part of a safety function, maintenance is one thing, refurbishment is another, and requires careful consideration to ensure compliance.
