Professional Brake Disc Skimming Equipment
A quality brake lathe machine allows technicians to machine brake discs and drums accurately, helping correct surface imperfections and minimise problems such as brake judder and vibration when the components are otherwise suitable for machining. Brake disc skimming can also provide a practical alternative to replacing serviceable discs, depending on the manufacturer’s specifications and the condition and remaining thickness of the component.
The right brake lathe depends on the vehicles being serviced, the type and size of brake components, workshop capacity and whether on-car or off-car machining is required. Cape Automotive Equipment provides a selection of brake disc skimmers and brake lathe machines to support professional brake servicing operations.
