CLASS SUMMARY
PRO-CUT BRAKE LATHE DEMONSTRATION SUMMARY Ensure you have correctly setup the Ford supplied Pro-Cut lathe The new Pro-Cut 9.0 PFM on-vehicle lathe will improve your speed and quality when turning
rotors. Lateral runout is caused by hub versus rotor tolerance. Always check hub runouL Lateral runout causes pads to touch on each rotation leading to thickness variation resulting in
pedal pulsation. Always cleaning and adjust the tool holder before resurfacing. Ensure there are no bent arms.
Keys to good surface finish: Fresh/undamaged cutting tips (OEM) True tool holder plate (bent plate will result in poor surface finish) Cutting head tight in dovetail Snug gib on cutting box (loose gib will result in poor surface finish) Use chip deflector/silencer
Important Tips When Resurfacing Rotors Count and tracking cuts on a bit and rotation Never use Imitation bits Clean rotors with soap and water Clean the hub surface thoroughly Importance of indexing the rotor Using Torque Sticks to install the wheels
