10) Use the Cut Depth Micrometer to
move both cutting tool tips towards
the rotor until they just touch the
rotor surface.
11) Turn the hand wheel to manually feed
the cutting tools outward toward the
edge of the rotor to remove any rust
build-up on the outer edge.
12) Manually feed the cutting tools
inward towards the center of the rotor
to a point slightly beyond the contact
surface of the brake pads. Use care as
the depth of cut may vary due to
runout in the surface of the rotor.
13) Push the Auto Infeed Stop button all
the way in. Twisting the knob while
pushing inward makes this step
easier. This sets the point where the
cutting tools will stop during
automatic feed towards the center of
the rotor in the following steps.
14) Press the Safety Lock and move the
AUTO/MAN Shift to AUTO.
15) Turn both Cut Depth Micro-meters
clockwise one large division to move
the cutting tool tips into the faces of
the rotor by 0.004 in. Figure 13
illustrates that 0.004 in. is the
distance between two numbers on the
micrometer.
16) Turn the Feed Rate Switch on the
Drive Motor Control to 9 (fast feed).
17) Press the top (OUTFEED) of the
Feed Direction Switch on the lathe.
The lathe cutting tools will
automatically feed outward, making
a rough cut on the rotor.
