How Can Brake Drum Machining on a Drum Lathe Avoid Taper and Surface Variation on Jeep Wrangler?

On occasion, you may machine brake drums on a drum lathe, but be sure the initial cuts are between 0.12 and 0.20 mm (0.005 and 0.008 inch) to prevent any chances of taper or surface modification. At this stage, a cut between 0.025 and 0.038 mm (0.001 and 0.0015 inch) gives you the best quality finish. Tighten the drum on the lathe and use a damper strap each time to keep chatter marks from appearing in the wood. The outer side of every drum braking surface has its maximum allowable diameter stamped or cast into it and the brakes must be changed if machining would result in a larger diameter.
