How to Know When to Replace a Brake Drum Micrometer

A brake drum micrometer is a vital tool if you need precision measurements for the inside diameter of a brake drum. These tools are built to last for many years. They are durable, hold up to extensive wear and tear, and can’t be easily broken or damaged. Even so, it’s important to check your micrometer on a regular basis for signs of damage that could render the device inaccurate.

In many cases, you can replace individual micrometer parts when damage occurs. However, there are some forms of damage that will ruin your micrometer. If the tool has been hit with a hammer and/or dropped too many times, the frame may become bent. This would render the micrometer useless. Make sure the thimble is round, and the measuring faces are completely aligned. The faces must meet plane-to-plane; any gap is unacceptable as the device would not be able to provide accurate measurements.

Suggested Maintenance for Brake Lathes

If your brake drum micrometer is showing thickness variations on a vehicle’s rotors, you’ll need a brake lathe to address the issue. Like micrometers, brake lathes are hardy, durable tools that you can rely on long-term. However, they also need regular maintenance in order to work properly. Check the oil level regularly and refill the device as needed. Brush adapters and exposed machine surfaces and then wipe them down with WD-40 to prevent rusting.

Replace any damaged or worn parts and safety decals immediately. Doing so prevents damage to the lathe. This extends its lifespan and improves customer service and satisfaction. SVI offers multiple brake lathe repair parts to meet the needs of any auto shop.
