Each car owner tries to make his vehicle with bright and stand out. One of the original methods to give the car of the individual is the cutting of the disks. Every motorist can cope with this, if you know the specifics of this event. About this further in the article.

What is automotive disks

Wheeling discs is an increase in their width, which gives the car more attractive look, because the details look much more unusual and more interesting. Usually the wipers are carried out on standard factory steel stamped discs. In the people, such products are called "stamping". There are two methods for increasing the width of such discs.

First Wheel Wheel

In fact, the weld is the connection of two identical stamping disks with each other.

tools for work

• Drill with drills.
• Suture sealant.
• Welding.
• Bulgarian and replaceable nozzles for her.

first step

First, "stamping" must be prepared. It is desirable that they were initially smooth, and even better - new. However, as a rule, the divers make from used disks.

Work starts with evaluation of discs. They are carefully examined by a visual way and check for perfect evenness. For this there is a special way. The hub of the vehicle on which the unlocked "stamping" will be mounted, clamp in vice, the disk is mounted on it and rotate. So the beating is fixed. If you find a separate hub, there is no possibility, dress the drive to the master axis of the machine, turn on the first transmission and evaluate the beating. However, do not forget to install bricks under the wheels and backups under the car.

The beating is estimated by two methods. You can on the eye, but in this case it will be possible to evaluate only the fact of the presence of beating. The magnitude of the beating is measured using a ruler. For this, the ruler is applied and vertically, and horizontally. If the beating does not exceed one or two millimeters, it is believed that it is normal. But if the beating exceeds two millimeters in any plane, the disc is corrected on special equipment.

Based on the most even "stamping". It is recommended to immediately note to avoid confusion in the future. The second "stamping" will be rim.

second phase

Go to the second stage of work. From the second "stamping" with the help of the grinder, the outer rim is cut off. The main disc is cut to the inside in the outer rim area, preferably closer to the middle. Then the rim dismantle and throw out. It has no need for anymore. As a result, such a picture is obtained: only the internal rim remains from the second disk, which then becomes outdoor on the disk-based.

The disc-base is dressed on the hub of the rear axle and fix the nuts. Next, wear what remained from the second "stamping". The second rim is equal to the first and eliminate the beating. Then in several places grab welding - where cuts were made.

Now you need to take the suture sealant and apply to the center of the strained "stamping". Of course, this is done before painting. When the sealant finds it, remove the extra papers or the chisels. Then goes painting.

The second method of cutting disks

The second method is somewhat different from the first. One "stamping" in this case is collected into two parts. Then in the middle weld the metal strip. This method is more economical than the first, because only one set will be required.

The metal strip of three millimeter thick is smoothly cut and its width is selected in advance. After that, the band must be brought using special rollers. That part of the disk, which remained with the hub, stick together with the metal strip by welding.

Then grab and the second half of the disk from the side of the strip. All seams begin to boil well to "stamping" suddenly not led. If you are able to automatically weld the rotating item, it is better to choose it. So, the struck "stamping" will be significantly stronger.

Now we clean the seams, it is better to do it on the lathe. To make sure the proper geometry of the discs, it is advisable to roll them even before painting.

At the last stage you need to paint discs. Painting them better by powder composition. To enhance the design, it is advisable to make additional welding seam on the side hidden from the eyes. The disc is ready to use and collect it without a camera. If the camera is still mounted, then in advance with a drill you need to drill a hole for nipple in the disk. First you need to drill with a small drill, and then the hole increases to the desired size.

Tips Prof.

Disk rolling is desirable to entrust specialists. It is mandatory, because this method checks the resistance of the disk to the load, as well as the quality of the seam. Some motorists still cover the paint with varnish, so that it looks even steeper. But here it all depends on the individual preferences.
