On The Car Brake Lathe

[@samlee2408]

Where did you buy this machine at?

[@RAY-iq2hb]

I’d like to buy one of this, what is the part number?

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Can you make a video on the process starting on how to install on the car please. .? Thanks

[@cfitzgduke]

Only works on a driven wheel. Need to swap rotors to a drive wheel.

[@fabio40]

My question is...why? Rotors do not take long to remove from most vehicles. It would take longer to install this device than it would to put the rotor on a standard lathe.

[@RandomsFandom]

People are cheap, and prefer sub par parts vs quality oem parts

[@rossfaley802]

Hunter makes a good video to answer your question. Basically, the hub has a certain amount of runout, which translates to rotor runout. resurfacing a rotor on car corrects this. In my experience, it is rare that hub runout is enough to cause brake pulsation, but it happens. Also great for hub over rotor configurations like on old 90s Hondas.

It's a real pain removing brake rotors from trucks with kingpin Dana 60 axles. After removing the calipers, the bearings and hub have to be removed/repaced, and the wheel studs have to be pressed out and back into the new rotors. Then you have to repack and reset the wheel bearings. Much easier to just turn the rotors in place on those trucks.

my rotors are 90 dollars each it is so worth it to me , plus i know its done right

[@RandomsFandom]

you can use oil on that to extend carbide cutter life

[@RandomsFandom]

Or at the least use water

[@drrjim]

@@RandomsFandom No, cast iron cuts best dry. Besides ending up with a mess and oil penetrating your rotor...Never use oil when cutting a brake drum or rotor...

[@RandomsFandom]

@@drrjim use oil and just clean it... while cast is “self lubricating”, the cutters are not....these machines are poorly designed, and you’re poorly educated or lazy...it’s not like you couldn’t slip them into a parts washer.

[@drrjim]

@@RandomsFandom I am poorly educated or lazy.? 45 years automotive machine shop manager says differently. Spend some time and look at every video on KZbin and not one person will be using oil. Look at every manual on turning brake drums and rotors. Then tell me who is poorly educated on the subject.

[@RandomsFandom]

@@drrjim probably why you don’t get good results. Cutting fluid or oil is integral to getting a precision part

[@cooldude2245]

Awesome machine. If only I could buy $ it

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Man i see plenty of videos of people using the kwik lathe but not one of someone showing how to install it on the damn car ! Can someone make a video on the install of the unit please ?..

[@RandomsFandom]

Are you that stupid??? Put part on car... it’s that simple

[@davidserati2843]

hello you could teach me how to mount d e properly the grinding machine of discs in vehicles, since I just acquired it and I can not identify how to mount the tool on the caliper holder

[@fernandoalvarez7555]

Onde vende?thamks

[@meTimetraveler]

I went to Kwik lathe's web site and it seems they only sell parts, did not see any whole units. I went to OTC and their site could not figure it out. So who sells these?

[@ctordtor]

This was purchased off of ebay. I just looked and can't find a dealer either!

[@silverado2500wr450]

What drives the rotor?

[@عليزوهيري]

I am looking for this machine, but it does not exist in our country. I ask you to write the measurements of each piece to make on behalf of the owners of the workshop. Please reply and thank you

[@thingsdemystified]

I noticed you're not using a silencer band on the disc. Does it not affect the finish?

[@ctordtor]

+ThingsDemystified It did not appear to in this case.

[@thingsdemystified]

ctordtor I just tried it without the band, and I can't tell a difference. I just wasted $30.

[@ahmadrashid8499]

Content Updating I like to bay price

[@catfishsnagger3284]

How do you use this on a non driven hub

[@ctordtor]

If I remember right, the machine itself spins the rotor but I just made a recording of it. I'm not the guy who owns it or ran it.
