Hunter On Car Brake Lathe Operation

[@CrazyIvan1337]

I trust this man with my life. We watched this video in our Toyota tech training class and enjoyed it far more than the official Hunter video 🤣

You still should use a rotor mic or micrometer and a dial gage indicator to check afterwards. Hunter is a good machine. Best to use this on car method. Very expensive though. I’ll just buy new rotors. My dealership charges $275 per wheel! Crazy.

Good video, and cool instructor.

We have one of these in the shop I work at. The fact that if you're turning one rotor you can't move to the other side and break it down while you're resurfacing makes this much slower than using a bench lathe when you're working on front brakes on a FWD or rear brakes on a RWD. I also don't like how the lathe will rock around. I just don't feel comfortable with a metal cutting lathe moving around while it's cutting. The only time this is worth it is with rotor-hub assemblies.

Ours acts up a lot and the adjustment will face down or sideways between the head. Usually the machine won't center with the two green leds if it happens. What do you have to do in that situation? Do you turn it off, point the adjustment screw straight up then calibrate the machine again? Does it a frequently...

Yes

[@Swagolisious2]

at this point it would be easier to pull the rotor off and lathe em on a bench. just let it sit
