The arbor being portable so the disc can be mounted before the arbor is located is not an ideal system though and the drive can be damaged with time or careless tooling. 3k for one in top condition. Parts are hard to find. The Technodue B600 is another very good brake lathe that has few problems and a strong heart. These are very nicely finished well made and reliable in the main. Not my favourite though, as tooling is quite specific and oddly different, so it can be hard to tool up. I may be a bit biased here! I have spent a lot of hours working on their early 3 motor model. Beautifully built and badly conceived they have a chain drive on the feed, which was piss poor and broke regularly. The motors and switching is complex and expensive to repair, if you can get a technician who will even work on one.
The new models are much simpler and seem to be OK, but I will wait and see. The attractive thing about the west is the price. If you shop hard for a late model one you will get it pretty cheap compared to a used Ammco or JB as they are a lot cheaper new. The later model West also machines flywheels. 4k for a late model one, don't buy an early model one unless you are an expert, and even then you will need another one for spares. If you want to grind your discs instead of machining them, then this is one of the best of the grinder types. These machines will rip off as much as an eighth of an inch of material, so save time on badly grooved discs that have a lot of metal left before the minimum cut thickness is reached. Setting up is similar to a brake lathe with cones to lock the disc in place. Suitable for resurfacing discs where metallurgy is outside standard parameters, or to do special jobs where machining is not suitable.
Fitted with the newer cubic boron nitride grinders it does a very accurate and finished job in one pass.

The main feature of the machine is to allow the reconditioning of brake discs, drums, cylinder heads, engine blocks and flywheels , just with one single machining unit. Not easy Mico, a brake lathe is expensive and needs operating skills that many don't have, and you can always have discs machined at a brake place for 12 bucks each if you are in the motor trade. Surely there is a place that offers lathe machines on rent. Thank you crystolite, you're most welcome! Nice article,thanks for sharing. Yes, you do need some business to make one pay, but you only need 3 or 4 average paying jobs a day to pay for the brake lathe and make a profit. Market tests conducted by SPX have shown, they also add to your bottom line in other sales areas. A brake lathe will add around 2.5k a month to gross sales on it's own. Thanks for checking in to have a look Bob. I like brake lathes, the engineering is beautiful to me. I can't disagree with you on the Repco ag, it is a beauty. Really informative article. But I've checked the prices of used lathes on Ebay and they are very expensive and shipping costs are high as well. I expect hell will freeze over before I need a brake lathe. But this hasn't stopped me enjoying this excellent and well directed article on the subject. Earnestshub a great selection of used brake lathe on this Hub. I wear my heart on my sleeve here in nominating the Repco Brake lathe as the Rolls Royce closely followed by the Ammco as the Best used brake lathe available today!
