Our on car brake disc lathe will save you ££££’s compared to disc replacement!

Many drivers experience brake vibration from time to time; a pulsing sensation when the brake pedal is depressed, which can be transferred through the vehicle via the steering, the suspension, or most commonly through the pedal itself. It occurs most frequently at speeds exceeding 50mph and feels both unpleasant and unsafe.

The problem occurs when the brake disc's surface does not rotate truly about its own axis. This "lateral run-out" (the technical term for disc wobble or mis-alignment) is in turn caused by uneven disc wear or excessive heating and cooling of the disc.

Uneven wear is often the result of the disc not sitting perfectly on the hub due to unclean surfaces when the disc was fitted or a tiny amount of distortion in the hub itself.

Material the thickness of a human hair (about 0.05mm to 0.15mm) between disc and hub can be enough to cause run-out.

Any unevenness at the centre of the disc is of course amplified at the disc's circumference. If this happens, the disc tends to contact the pads intermittently and after only around 2 - 3,000 miles it wears so unevenly that the driver notices a vibration when pressing the brake pedal

Such problems are rarely solved by fitting new discs or by machining the discs on a bench lathe. Indeed many drivers who call Pro-Cut with brake vibration problems have already had new discs fitted, only to find the problem returning after around 2,000 miles. However, machining the discs on the car and therefore "matching" them to the hub, is the solution.
