Fig 3 Rotor Refinishing Equipment
ROTOR REFINISHING
Rotor braking surfaces can be refinished by sanding and/or machining in a disc brake lathe. The lathe must be capable of machining both rotor
surfaces simultaneously with dual cutter heads. Equipment capable of machining only one side at a time will produce a tapered rotor. The lathe
should also be equipped with a grinder attachment or dual sanding discs for final cleanup or light refinishing.
If the rotor surfaces only need minor cleanup of rust, scale, or minor scoring, use abrasive discs to clean up the rotor surfaces. However, when a
rotor is scored or worn, machining with cutting tools will be required.
CAUTION: Do not refinish a rotor if machining would cause the rotor to fall below minimum allowable thickness.
