A specialized piece of equipment utilizes precision cutting tools to remove a thin layer of metal from the surface of vehicle brake rotors. This process corrects minor imperfections, such as warping or scoring, restoring a smooth and even braking surface. For instance, lateral runout, often felt as a pulsating brake pedal, can be rectified through this procedure.
Maintaining a level rotor surface is crucial for optimal braking performance and safety. The process helps prevent vibrations, reduces brake noise, and extends the lifespan of both rotors and brake pads. Historically, rotor replacement was the common solution for surface imperfections. However, this equipment offers a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative by extending the usability of existing components. This practice contributes to resource conservation and reduces waste generation.
