16. Turn the Main Power Switch on.
17. Turn each Twin Micro Dial (the outer knurled knobs)
clockwise until the Cutter just barely contacts the rotor
surfaces and makes a slight scratch cut.
18. Turn the Main Power Switch off.
19. Examine the scratch cut making sure it is uniform
around the entire circumference of the rotor. If the scratch
cut appears to be deeper on one side of the rotor and not
a uniform depth, with the power off, remove the rotor from
the Arbor, check the mounting adapters and Arbor for nicks,
burrs, debris or chips, remount the rotor, and repeat the
process.
20. Once the rotor is determined to be mounted properly
and the scratch cut is good, examine the outer edge of
the rotor for any rust build up or high areas.
If there are high areas or rust build up.
Turn each Twin Micro Dials (the outer knurled knobs)
clockwise until the Cutter just barely contacts the rotor
surfaces and makes a slight scratch cut.
1. Zero the Cutter Hand Wheel Micrometer. Hold the
outer knurled knobs firmly with your left hand, then carefully
rotate the inner knurled dial indicator knobs clockwise with
your right hand until ZERO is positioned at top dead center
and lined up with the tick mark. This will give you an initial
zero-set starting point.
2. Back off the Cutter 1-2 thousandths.
ENSURE THAT THE TWIN CUTTING TIPS ARE
CLEAR OF THE ROTOR PRIOR TO TURNING ON THE
SPINDLE MOTOR.
MAKE SURE THE DRUM / ROTOR CROSS FEED
SWITCH IS IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION.
KEEP HANDS clear of moving parts at all times. Keep
hair, loose clothing, neckties, shop rags, jewelry, fingers,
and all parts of body away from moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield.
Cutting an exposed surface such as a brake drum, rotor
or flywheel will produce flying chips and debris.
3. Move the Feed Selector switch to the Neutral
position.
4. Set the Speed Feed Dial to 0.
5. Turn the main Power Switch on.
6. Manually turn the Cross Feed Hand Wheel counter
clockwise and move the cutting tools outward toward the
edge of the rotor to remove any rust build-up or high areas
on the outer edge.
Repeat as necessary to remove the high spots and get
the outer edge close to the over all rotor height.
7. Turn off the Main Power Switch.
After cleaning up the outer edge of the rotor manually.
Proceed to Step 9 to machine the rotor.
