Consider the range of rotor/drum sizes you typically work with when selecting an arbor, and check for compatibility with your specific lathe model.

Do you carry adapters for different brake lathe models?

Yes, we offer a range of adapters to ensure compatibility between your brake lathe and various rotors or drums. Adapters can help you mount components that wouldn't otherwise fit directly on your lathe. Be sure to check the adapter's specifications to confirm it's suitable for your lathe and the parts you'll be working with.

What accessories are needed for resurfacing composite rotors?

Resurfacing composite rotors often requires specialized cutting bits and potentially different feed rates compared to solid rotors. Ensure you select cutting bits specifically designed for composite materials to avoid damage and achieve a proper finish. Refer to your lathe's manual and the rotor manufacturer's recommendations for specific guidance.

How do I choose the correct brake lathe accessories for my specific application?
