STANDARD PROCEDURE - DISC BRAKE ROTOR MACHINING

WARNING: BRAKE ROTORS THAT DO NOT MEET MINIMUM THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONS BEFORE OR AFTER MACHINING MUST BE REPLACED.

NOTE: A hub mounted on-vehicle lathe is recommended. This type of lathe trues the rotor to the vehicles hub/bearing.

The disc brake rotor can be machined if scored or worn. The lathe must machine both sides of the rotor simultaneously with dual cutter heads. The rotor mounting surface must be clean before placing on the lathe. Equipment capable of machining only one side at a time may produce a tapered rotor.
