Larger discs lathed

10 December 2013  

Brake lathe maker Pro-Cut reports that many workshops are updating their existing machines to the firm’s new PFM 9.2 model. One of these is independent Porsche specialist JZM in Hemel Hempstead. The garage found that their previous machines were limited as to the size of discs they can machine. Increasingly, disc diameters are exceeding 370mm and can even be as big as 430mm. The latest PFM 9.2 copes with the biggest of these and also has the digital read-out box, as well as ‘Speedlock’ cutting head which is faster to set up than on previous models.
