A pair of drag brakes are located on opposite sides of the Milling Head leadscrew
bearing block. See Figure 15. This applies drag to the rotation of the leadscrew
in conjunction with the brake to prevent the Milling Head from settling due to the
influence of gravity. A 4mm hex wrench is required to adjust the drag brakes.
