ABSTRACT:
An alignment device to be mounted on an on-vehicle brake lathe to provide quick and easy lateral run out compensation. A concentric bottom plate, ring member and top plate are mounted onto the output shaft of the lathe prior to attaching the lathe to an adapter mounted on a vehicle hub/brake assembly. Two spring-loaded screws extend through the bottom plate, ring member and top plate and into complementary recesses in the mounting face of the lathe. The ring member includes an adjustment screw which, when engaged, and in combination with the tension on the center shaft of the lathe output shaft, will alter the planar alignment of the top plate and thus compensate for the lateral run out of the hub/brake assembly and allow for the precision machining of the brake rotor surface with the cutting tips of the lathe.
