What This Machine Does
This brake lathe range machines both drums and rotors, driven by precision electric DC servo motors specified for industrial motion control rather than a simple belt drive. What sets it apart in daily use is the Change Adapter system: it does away with conventional bell clamps and cones, and built-in springs mean the adapters stay with the machine instead of disappearing around the workshop. Twin cutter tools work both faces of a rotor at once, and a positive rake cutter tip angle is chosen so that a one pass finish is achieved virtually every time rather than repeating cuts for surface quality. Spindle and cross feed speeds are infinitely variable, so the operator sets a rough cut and then a precision finish cut without changing anything mechanical. Separate motors drive the drum and rotor feeds, which keeps the main motor working on the cut. Changeover from drum to rotor is quick, and a top storage tray keeps the adapters in reach.
Why Buyers Choose This Machine
- Precision electric DC servo motors meet industrial motion control requirements rather than belt-drive approximation
- Change Adapter system removes the need for conventional bell clamps and cones
- Built-in springs in the adapters mean they are not lost between jobs
- Twin cutter tools machine both rotor faces so a disc is finished in one operation
- Positive rake cutter tip angle gives a one pass finish virtually every time
- Infinitely variable spindle and cross feed settings cover rough and precision finish cuts
- Separate motors on drum and rotor feed keep the main motor's output on the cut
- Adapter range covers standard and composite rotors on foreign and domestic cars and light trucks
Where Brake Disc Lathe C9350 Earns Its Place
Problems It Solves
- Bell clamps and cones get lost or mismatched and the wrong setup runs the rotor out
- Machining each rotor face separately doubles the time on every disc
- Repeating cuts for a good surface finish wastes rotor thickness and shop time
- Changing from drum to rotor work on a single-purpose setup interrupts the flow of a brake bay
- A single feed speed forces the same setting for roughing and finishing
- Composite rotors need adapters a conventional cone set does not provide
Who It Is For
- Brake specialist and fast-fit workshops
- General automotive repair shops offering brake machining
- Light truck and van fleet workshops
- Distributors supplying vehicle service equipment in export markets
Application Scenarios
- Skimming brake rotors to remove judder on cars and light trucks
- Machining brake drums on the same lathe without a tooling rebuild
- Working composite rotors that need correct adapter support
- High-volume brake service where changeover time between vehicles matters
- Mixed fleets of foreign and domestic vehicles in one workshop

How It Is Built and What Can Be Changed
Operations Performed
- Turning
- Rotor facing
- Drum boring
Quality Control
- Spindle run-out measured with the Change Adapter fitted before shipment
- Surface finish checked on a test rotor after a single pass
- Twin cutter alignment verified so both faces are cut to matching thickness
- Servo drive and feed motors tested through the full variable speed range
- Machine run in and a sample rotor and drum machined before packing
Customisation Options
- C9350 C9370 or C9372 selected from the rotor and drum sizes you machine
- Adapter package specified for the hubs and composite rotors in your market
- Cutter tip package supplied with the machine
- Supply voltage and frequency set for your market
- Manual and control labelling prepared in your working language
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Drum and disc brake cutting lathe C9350C / C9370C | The C series cutting lathe uses belt speed changes and a mechanical feed; this range adds DC servo drive twin cutters and the Change Adapter system for faster changeover |
|---|---|
| Single cutter brake lathes | Cutting one rotor face at a time doubles the machining time and risks unequal thickness between faces; the twin cutter tools work both faces together |
| Replacing rotors and drums | A one pass finish on a rotor that still has thickness left is far cheaper than a new set of parts on every brake job |
Running the Machine
Step 1
Measure the rotor or drum against its service limit before machining
Step 2
Fit the correct Change Adapter for the hub rather than assembling bell clamps and cones
Step 3
Mount the part and check it runs true before cutting
Step 4
Set an infinitely variable feed for the rough cut
Step 5
Bring both twin cutters onto the rotor faces and take the first pass
Step 6
Reduce the feed for the precision finish cut where the surface needs it
Step 7
Measure the finished thickness and return the adapters to the top storage tray

Questions About Brake Disc Lathe C9350
What is the difference between C9350 C9370 and C9372?
They cover different rotor and drum capacities. Send us the largest rotor and drum you machine and we will confirm which model suits your work.
Do I still need bell clamps and cones?
No. The Change Adapter system eliminates the need for conventional bell clamps and cones, and built-in springs keep the adapters with the machine.
Can it machine composite rotors?
Yes. The variety of adapters lets you machine standard and composite rotors for foreign and domestic cars and light trucks.
Does it cut both faces of a rotor at once?
Yes. Precision twin cutter tools work both faces, and the positive rake cutter tip angle gives a one pass finish virtually every time.
Can it do drums as well as rotors?
Yes, with a quick drum to rotor changeover, and separate motors on the drum and rotor feed keep the main motor efficient on either job.
What are your payment and trade terms?
FOB CFR and CIF. Payment is 30 percent by T/T on order and 70 percent before shipment, or an irrevocable L/C at sight.
What spares should I stock?
Cutter tips are the main consumable. Tell us your monthly brake volume and we will propose a starting quantity with the machine.
