Technician A says there are no brake lathes that can machine rotors on the vehicle.

Technician B says drums must be removed from the vehicle to be machined.

Which technician is correct?

Answer :

Both technicians are partially correct: 'on-car' brake lathes can machine rotors on the vehicle, but it's standard and safer to machine drums off the vehicle with a 'bench' brake lathe.

In the scenario regarding brake lathe use on a vehicle, both Technician A and Technician B have partially correct statements.

Technician A is incorrect as there are indeed brake lathes designed to machine rotors while they are still installed on the vehicle; these are known as 'on-car' brake lathes.

However, Technician B is correct in saying that drums must be removed from the vehicle to be machined.

It's common and safer practice for drums to be machined off the vehicle with a 'bench' brake lathe.
