Brake rotor resurfacing
First Claim
1. A device for resurfacing a rotor of a vehicle brake system while the rotor is mounted on the vehicle, the device comprising:
- a cutting assembly having a cutting tool that is moveable between a cutting position where the cutting tool is configured to machine a surface of the rotor, and a retracted position where the cutting tool is spaced from the surface of the rotor; and
a finishing assembly coupled to the cutting assembly and having a finishing head that is moveable between a disengaged position where the finishing head is spaced from the surface of the rotor, and a finishing position where the finishing head is configured to finish the surface of the rotor.

Abstract
A device for resurfacing a rotor of a vehicle brake system while the rotor is mounted on the vehicle includes a cutting assembly and a finishing assembly. The cutting assembly has a cutting tool that is moveable between a cutting position where the cutting tool is configured to machine a surface of the rotor, and a retracted position where the cutting tool is spaced from the surface of the rotor. The finishing assembly is coupled to the cutting assembly and has a finishing head that is moveable between a disengaged position where the finishing head is spaced from the surface of the rotor, and a finishing position where the finishing head is configured to finish the surface of the rotor.

15. A device for resurfacing a rotor of a vehicle brake system while the rotor is mounted on the vehicle, the device comprising:
-
a cutting assembly having cutting tools that are moveable between a cutting position where the cutting tools are configured to machine opposing surfaces of the rotor, and a retracted position where the cutting tools are spaced from the surfaces of the rotor; and
a finishing assembly coupled to the cutting assembly and having finishing heads that are moveable between a disengaged position where the finishing heads are spaced from the surfaces of the rotor, and a finishing position where the finishing heads are configured to finish the surfaces of the rotor after the cutting tools have machined the surfaces of the rotor.

16. A method of resurfacing a rotor of a vehicle brake system while the rotor is mounted on the vehicle, comprising:
-
positioning a cutting tool of a cutting assembly against a surface of the rotor, while positioning a finishing head of a finishing assembly that is coupled to the cutting assembly away from the surface of the rotor;
machining the surface of the rotor with the cutting tool;
positioning the cutting tool away from the surface of the rotor, while positioning the finishing head against the surface of the rotor; and
finishing the surface of the rotor with the finishing head. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
