Maybe I'm nuts but I've been mulling over if it would be feasible to have an electric motor set up with a plate/adapter to support and spin a brake rotor. In most cases when I replace pads the rotors are not damaged or warped so I don't see a need to re-cut them. However, it seems like a good idea to to me to at least do a sandpaper pass on the surfaces just as a clean-up for the new pads.
I was at Brake Check getting an alignment and I think I saw one of their guys doing this on a similar setup, except he was using an air sander. The machine was set up horizontally but I was thinking to place the motor vertically so that the rotor would be spinning like a turntable. I could then use a sanding block to evenly clean up the surfaces.
Is this delusional?
