INSTALLATION OF ARBOR 1. The 1" diameter arbor is included with the 103 as standard equipment and is capable of handling work pieces up to 150 lbs. If the work piece is heavier the 150 lbs, it will be necessary to use the optional 2" Heavy Duty Arbor.

MAKE CERTAIN POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION before changing the spindle speed. 1. The 3 spindle speeds on the 103 are 60, 120, & 170 RPM’s. To select the desired speed, lift and turn the latch handle to open the belt access door (Figure 8). Loosen the belt tensioning lock by pushing down on the lever (Figure 9).

103 Multi-Speed Brake Lathe SELECTING THE FEED RAT E 1. The 103 features an infinitely variable feed on both the disc slide and the drum slide. This will allow the operator to totally control surface finish and machining time for drums and discs. Refer to chart below for the spindle speed/feed rate ratio to determine the optimum feed rate.

DRUM BAR TOOLING ASSEMBLY The 103 Drum Bar, Part Number 804-8671-10, is machined at both ends. The end of the bar with the machined slot and the two set screws is used for larger drums and flywheels. The end of the bar that is reduced in width is for machining small drums.

103 Multi-Speed Brake Lathe 1. HUBLESS DRUMS (Fig. 22) are mounted using 2 bell clamps of the same size, a tapered cone, a spring, and spacers. Make certain the mounting pads of the bell clamps are clean and free of nicks, burrs, etc.
Page 21
103 Multi-Speed Brake Lathe 4. On smaller drums position the tool bar and bit at the outer edge of the drum to insure that the tool bar will not contact the spindle housing during machining. It may be necessary to use spacers to position the drum further out on the arbor to allow clearance for the tool bar.

103 Multi-Speed Brake Lathe P R E PARING DISCS ROTORS FOR MACHINING 1. Before machining, each disc rotor should be carefully inspected for scoring, rust, ridges (at the inner and outer circumference of the rotor) and hard spots. Any excessive wear or deformity should be noted and, if not within acceptable limits, the rotor should be replaced.
Page 23
Figure 33 Four Rotor Bits are included with the 103. Install 2 in Twin Cutter. The rotor bits have three cutting edges -- make certain that the narrow side of the bit is on the top. This will allow for the proper clearance angle while machining.
Page 24
103 Multi-Speed Brake Lathe MACHINING When machining thin, non-vented composite rotors, use the built-in dampener arms. When machining the thicker vented rotors, use the silencer band. Do not use both at the same time. 1. Manually adjust the traverse slide over until the Twin Cutter Arms are centered over the rotor.

1. DAILY: Clean all surfaces to remove chips and dirt. Use a brush or a shop vac. To prevent metal in machine bear- ings NEVER use compressed air to clean the 103 Brake Lathe. 1. WEEKLY Apply dry graphite lubricant to the dovetail ways. DO NOT use grease or oil on the ways or leadscrew since this collects chips and causes accelerated wear.
