HELPFUL HINTS FOR CUTTING ROTORS USING A PRO-CUT LATHE

· If AWD vehicle and all 4 wheels turn, remove all 4 wheels and calipers.
MAINTENANCE
The Pro-Cut lathe is simple and rugged. With just a few maintenance tips you can ensure a long and profitable life for your machine.
Check cutting tip edges. If there are chips or dings, turn or replace the tip. Be sure they are right-side up so that the
groove and dots are visible. Each tip has three cutting points. When worn out, replace them using a T-8 wrench as the
one provided with the tool kit. Although the tips must be securely tightened, do not over-tighten them either. When
changing tool tips, clean the threads and put a spot of Vaseline ® (or thick grease) in the bottom of the screw hole
before tightening the tool bit screw. The Vaseline / grease will stop chips from accumulating in the hole and rusting
in place. If chips do rust in place, they can often be dislodged by poking a needle through the hole.
Clean the slide plate and tool holder plate, taking special care that there are not chips or dirt wedged in the dovetails
or under the tool arms. Clean loose cast-iron chips from the magnetic tip on the adjustment flange to maintain a clear
signal to the computer. Check the electrical connections and cord for cuts in the insulation or for wear.
