GM Service and GM Brake Engineering have performed competitive evaluations on a significant number of bench and on-car brake lathes. These tests measured critical performance characteristics such as flatness, surface finish, and the ability of the lathe to repeat accuracy over many uses.

The procedure is to remove the tire and wheel assembly, the hub and bearing assembly, and the splash shield.
