Patent ID: 7802502

Claim:
A tool for attenuating vibrations in a disc brake rotor during machining of surfaces of the rotor, the tool comprising: a u-shaped first rod having left and right first rod legs and left and right first rod ends; a u-shaped second rod having left and right second rod legs and left and right second rod ends; left and right pads, the left and right pads each having a generally planar surface facing a generally planar surface of the other pad, the left pad being attached to the left first rod leg proximate the left first rod end, and the right pad being attached to the right first rod leg proximate the right first rod end; left and right compression brackets spaced apart from each other, each compression bracket including (i) a first bore extending therethrough with a respective first rod leg being received into and through the first bore, and (ii) a second bore with a respective second rod leg received therein; and an adjustable fastener, the adjustable fastener being coupled with the compression brackets and being adapted to vary the distance between the compression brackets whereby in use the left and right pads are compressed against a disk brake rotor by way of the left and right first rod legs.
