Re-machining Rotors

Brake disc resurfacing involves machining the friction surfaces on a brake lathe. Disc resurfacing is needed to correct run out, thickness variation, or scoring. When a disc is in good condition, most manufacturers do not recommend disc resurfacing. Only machine a disc when is absolutely necessary.

New Rotors Brake

Disc thickness is measured across the two friction surfaces in several locations. Variation in disc thickness indicates water. To measure disc thickness, use an outside micrometer. Measure in several places. Compare your measurements to specifications.

Minimum thickness will sometimes be printed on the side of the disc. If not, refer to a manual of brake specification chart. If the disc thickness is below the specification then you will need to replace your disc. This is done in pairs. Martin's Clutch and Brake carries a wide range of quality Disc Brake Australia disc rotors.

Cross Drilled DBA Rotors

The new range of DBAsport rotors is the most exciting development in the local braking industry for years. They bring to the affordable market of the sort of technology until now seen only on racing cars and exotic sports machines.

Advantages of DBAsport rotors:
· Less Fade · Lower Mass
· Better Pad Bite
· Better Ventilation
· Improved Out-gassing
· More even pad wear

Brake Drums Re-machining

Brake drum resurfacing, also called turning, involves machining the friction surface of the drum on the brake lathe. Resurfacing is needed when the drum is scored, out-of-round, or worn unevenly. Some workshops machine a drum anytime the brake linings are replaced, while other workshops only turn the drum when needed. Make sure you ask the brake technician repairing your car to check, as defective drums can impede the performance of the braking system. Martin's Clutch and Brake is geared up for brake drum resurfacing jobs from large commercial to small cars.
