Data on precision turning :  

 

 

Speed  

40 to 50 min -1 (rpm)  

Forward feed  

0.08 to 0.1 mm/rev  

Depth of cut  

0.3 mm max.  

Radius of steel tip  

approx. 1.6 mm  

 

To achieve uniform braking behaviour, both brake drums must have the same diameter and surface characteristics. For this reason, always work on both. When unscrewing, make sure that no screw-formed striations occur.
