For resurfacing brake rotors, Bursten’s hone tool for Rotors tool promises a non-directional finish for lower harmonic vibrations and a quieter ride.
Burten rotor hone tools remove the accumulated brake pad glaze that contributes to squeaking and squealing in the first place.
Writer Mary Qi captured the results of this rotor refurbishment project when our clients put the Honing Tool for Rotors to the test. Honing Tool for Rotors is expected by Do-it-yourselfers (DIYers), brake technicians, and automotive mechanics. They want to know the test results very much.
Brake Rotor Resurfacing
In Glaze is for Donuts: Do-It-Yourself Disc Brake Resurfacing, our client describes how to use Honing Tool technology to resurface a set of brake rotors from a race car with several days at the track. Although Bursten’s Honing Tool for Rotors instructions recommends the use of a lathe, the team didn’t use one. In contrast, the used rotors were simply placed on a workbench.
To test Bursten’s technology, three different rotor hones were used. First, our client chucked a coarse-grit Honing Tool for Rotors in a handheld electric drill. A medium-grit rotor hone was used to remove any marks left by the coarser-grit tool, after removing the transfer layer of old brake pad material. Finally, our client used a fine-grit Honing Tool for Rotors to produce the final, basketweave style finish.
The Honing Tool for Rotors
As the article explains, Bursten recommends the Honing Tool for Rotors for both new and re-turned brake rotors.
Applications of Disc Brake Resurfacing with the Flexible honing brush for Rotors
1.Fixing improperly bedded rotors and removing surface corrosion
2.Friction material that can contribute to brake noise and vibration
Honing Tool for Rotors tools can also remove sharp edges from slots and cross-drilled holes on the face of the brake rotor.
As our clients noted during testing, the Honing Tool for Rotors has a self-leveling design that delivers equalized pressure to the entire surface area. By applying light, uniform pressure without excessive dwell time, even a new Honing Tool for Rotors users can get great results.
