How Can Brake Drum Machining on a Drum Lathe Avoid Taper and Surface Variation on Dodge Ram 3500 Van?

Where necessary brake drums can be machined on a drum lathe taking initial cuts of 0.005 - 0.008 inch (0.12 to 0.20 mm) to prevent taper and variation in grain structure at the surface and final finishes of 0.001 to 0.0015 inch (0.025 to 0.038 mm) are recommended to result in optimum surface finish. Before machining make sure the drum is securely mounted in the lathe and use a damper strap around the drum to reduce vibration and prevent chatter marks. The drum's outer edge is stamped or cast with the maximum allowable diameter of the drum braking surface and when the drum has to be machined down to below this stamped or cast maximum allowable diameter diameter then it need replacing.
