Brake rotors
must be turned or replaced when they are damaged.
Both on-car and engine brake lathes remove the Rugged surface from rotors to establish more select braking. While bare agnate in function, their application is very different and each has its Pros and cons.
Features
On-car brake lathes feature a vertical cutting tool capable of taking down the surface of a rotor without having to remove the rotor from the car.Brake rotors committal to be turned periodically on your vehicle to make sure unharmed stopping. Rotors are turned either on the automobile or on a specially designed personal computer.
Function
Traditional machine brake lathes also cut vertically, but the rotor must be removed and placed on the chuck for machining.
Considerations
On-car brake lathes are time consuming to establish, but are better at avoiding the runoff often seen with machine brake lathe-turned rotors. Runoff can cause chatter when the brake is applied and is considered undesirable.
