How to skim a brake disc in a lathe or a mill

[@wk7060]

Very nice video!

[@gabrielsansar6187]

dont throw them jesus.. keep as emergency spares.........beautiful miller !!!!!!!!!!!!! i must have one

[@emailformosa]

Good content. Thank you

Would you think that the machining marks running radially (vs circumferentially) would lead to increased wear rate on the brake pads? At least until the pads wear away the machining marks?

Can you do a video of a block head resurfacing with the mill?

[@giorgidatiashvili6413]

Great content, thanks! I assume you have to keep making those fixtures for differently sized rotors?

[@maxfh768]

Yeah you do, if I have a disk that's the same bolt pattern, I just turn the front bit off the fixture off and machine the mounting face again. Thanks

[@giorgidatiashvili6413]

@@maxfh768 Thanks 👍 Looking forward to more videos.

Could a 3 jaw lathe chuck not work? Got a lovely old gal (don’t know much of the details and jargon yet) but she’s running to tolerance. I was hoping to nearly use the chuck for direct mounting. I assume it would be necessary to use a dial gauge though to measure for runout? What is the acceptable amount?

[@836dmar]

Great demo. What have you found is the runout limit before you feel it pulsating?

[@maxfh768]

Not sure when you can feel it, but if there's more than 0.1mm runout I normally skim or replace the disk.

How much difference in parallelism was there between the lathe trimmed disc and the milled one?

[@maxfh768]

I think when I measured them, I couldn't measure any difference in the lathe turned disk, and the milled disk had about 0.02mm variation in thickness

I'm very much a lathe guy, but I've had better luck not getting chatter on the mill.

Ты ростом большой или умом токаря

[@Mirceabalea]

Unless the discs are very expensive ones or you can't find a replacement, resurfacing isn't cost effective. Sadly.

Сузодрочка с дисками Я понял на западе токарей нет
