Machining The Opposite Side - Pro-Cut PFM 9.2 DRO Technical Manual

MACHINING ROTORS

MACHINING THE OPPOSITE SIDE

1. Loosen the trolley disc lock lever and rotate the machine into the upside-down position.
2. The procedure for cutting in the upside-down position is the same, though fewer steps are needed as the
lateral orientation of the cutting head relative to the rotor is already set. The lathe mounts in the same
manner. Often, the shut-off switch will still be depressed from the previous cut, so the machine will not
turn on until you advance the cutting head slightly. The cutting arms will also still be advanced in from
the last cut, so be sure to loosen the forward lock lever and spread the tool arms before feeding the head
towards the center of the rotor. Measuring and adjusting for run-out is exactly the same as in the upright
position. The entire cutting process is also the same, right down to the chip deflector/silencer which
mounts in the exact same position.
After loosening the trolley handle, the lathe can be flipped over to machine the opposite side of the vehicle.
*NOTE: Guard 50-1730 not shown.
NOTE
Be sure the auto shut-off
is not still engaged from
your first cut!
WARNING
Advancing the cutting head
towards the hat of the rotor
requires even more care
when upside down. Be
careful not to bump the
hat of the rotor!
