One Cut Refinishing Procedure

Locate the deepest score and turn the rotor micrometer knob until the tool bit bottoms out at the deepest point of the score. Zero the scale and back out the tool bit (repeat for opposite side of rotor). Advance the cutter handwheel until the bits have cleared the inner edges of the rotor face. Adjust the micrometer knobs for approximately 0.0127 mm (0.005 inch) more than the first reading. This will ensure resurfacing the rotor in one cut.
