Turning brake disc on manual traditional lathe, brake rotor resurfacing

Tornitura disco freno auto al tornio tradizionale
Non il metodo più indicato, ma facendo come mostrato nel video, ovvero di fare sia la faccia anteriore che quella posteriore + una leggera passata al piano di contatto sul mozzo tutto in un unica fase, assicura la perfetta complanarità delle superfici.
Resurfacing brake rotor on traditional lathe

Good job. Nothing brings out troll comments like turning drums or disks. It’s amazing. You could hand them two turned rotors - one of yours and one done on a brake lathe. Even with a micrometer they won’t be able to find taper or anything different between the two yet you are “doing it wrong”. Great video!

Hehe yes there are troll everywhere and most of the time they have no idea what they talking about.
I fully agree with what you say, doing it this way, without the rotor leaving the chuck from start to finish, it's pretty much the same thing, the last step in the process is to light skim the hub contact face, so it's like it was bolted to the brake lathe.
Glad you enjoy the video, thanks for watching ;)

Well done! This is the proper way to do it

Traditional resurfacing is the best

Hi. May I know if you are using special tool bit for this? Currently have 10% Cobalt with me, but my foreman said that it's not suitable. Not sure why he said that.

[@genk94]

Hi, for this job i used some carbide tips, but i think you can get the job done with hss co10. cast iron Is very abrasive on the tool tip, i think that's the reason why your foreman said that. If you can use carbide It's for sure better due to it's higher wear resistance.

@@genk94 thanks for the input sir!

I always use tungsten carbide tipped tools. Lower R.P.M. gives less vibration. Getting the thickness parallel is crucial

[@miguelzaratesanchez8220]

Verificas que esté dentro de la especificación técnica antes y después del rectificado?

[@genk94]

You mean the thickness?

[@andrewwilson6085]

Method is good, but a more rigid cutting tool is needed to give a better, more accurate finish.

Vc tá torneando o disco só preso na placa tá errado eu torneio o com o cubo do veículo junto.

[@toninhoemariarondina1624]

ai quando vc colocar no veiculo vai ficar torto mas ele deu um passe dentro onde encosta no cubo fica 00

Что бы так протачивать диски Нужен идеальный станок и патрон Обороты большие, плоскости не будет

[@joaoap.mil.4014]

É mais presiso.

No commentary sucks

[@rxsyete]

That is how to do it if no brake lathe available 🫣
