20080119117, May 22, 2008

Filed:

Sep 5, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/850473

Inventors:

Robert William Nichols - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

B24B 7/17
F16D 65/12

US Classification:

451 63, 188218 XL

Abstract:

A deglazing tool for use on motorcycle and ATV disc brake rotors. The tool is handheld and has abrasive pads that engage the rotor braking surface. The abrasive pads cut through the glaze on the braking surface of the rotor. Grip pressure on the handles maintains pad engagement with the rotor to assist the deglazing action. Compression springs below the deglazing heads or between the handles may be utilized to control the pressure between the rotor and pad. The surface glaze is removed and the surface is “roughened-up” and restored to the desired surface finish to improve overall braking performance and feel. The tool can be used with the rotor and brake caliper in place.
