May 22, 2002

 

WEST LEBANON, NH, May 22, 2002 - Pro-Cut International has raised the standard again for brake service with the introduction of their advanced new PFM 9.0 on-car brake lathe. Designed to machine virtually any brake rotor on any vehicle up to one ton, on any lift, in 10 minutes or less, the PFM 9.0 adds speed, accuracy and profitability to any shop.

 

The first on-car lathe approved by the big three auto manufacturers plus most other car companies, the new PFM 9.0 offers a host of new features:

 

• The PFM 9.0 provides computer-controlled accuracy to within .001", and one-cut, finish cut technology removes up to .020" from each side of the rotor in a single pass
• A new membrane keypad is solid state and built to take abuse
• The redesigned computer board delivers faster and more accurate runout compensation
• The redesigned new trolley offers better balance and easier handling.
• A new .95 hp motor powers the lathe to handle the stiffest viscous couplings
• New adapters allow the lathe to easily handle most every automobile or light truck, larger trucks including Ford 450/550 and even some medium duty and box trucks
• The lathe automatically adjusts for lateral runout.

 

Greater Accuracy, Ease of Use

 

"The Pro-Cut PFM 9.0 is designed and built to provide smooth, accurate brake rotor finishing right on the car or truck. There is no need to remove and re-install the rotor. And the PFM 9.0 is designed to make this a fast, straightforward -- and profitable -- operation. Just four simple steps will completely cut and finish virtually any rotor. Simple-to-use adapters connect the lathe to virtually every vehicle on the road today, up to one ton," said Jeff Hastings, president of Pro-Cut. Pro-Cut is the world leader in on-car brake lathes.

 

"To ensure maximum accuracy and superior surface finish, the computerized lathe compensates for runout in less than one minute," he added.

 

"Total setup and machining time is less than 10 minutes for each rotor in nearly every situation. This means greater shop efficiency, and greater profit. The PFM 9.0 makes every shop a profit center," Hastings indicated.

 

Same Day Parts Promise

 

In addition, every PFM 9.0 comes with a lifetime Same Day Parts Promise that guarantees any problem will be diagnosed, and the part shipped, within 24 hours. "You'll never be down more than one day, ever," he said.
