I am interning at a auto shop in my town. I went to observe there last thursday. I observed the mechanic cut and refinish the wheel rotors. The rotor is what the caliper attaches to, and holds the break pads. Cutting the rotor involves a tool that attaches to the wheel and spins the wheel while a calibrated cutting edge takes of a certain amout of metal from the roters to give it a new flat surface for the break pads to press on when needed. I plan to work there this thursday. My family and I are still trying to figure out a schedule for when would be the right days for me to go intern there.
