Professional vehicle brake disc and drum lathe resurfaces rotors & drums with 0.02mm precision. Handles 180-350mm diameter, 75-130 RPM. CE/ISO certified. Restore braking performance efficiently!
Vehicle Brake Disc and Drum Lathe：The Critical Importance of Proper Brake Maintenance
Warped brake rotors and worn brake drums are among the most common issues affecting vehicle safety and performance. These problems cause vibration, pulsation, and reduced braking efficiency—compromising driver safety and passenger comfort. Traditional replacement of brake components is costly and environmentally wasteful. The vehicle brake disc and drum lathe provides the professional solution for automotive repair shops seeking to offer high-quality brake service while maximizing profitability. This precision machining equipment restores warped rotors and worn drums to like-new condition, eliminating brake pulsation and restoring optimal braking performance.
