Ever wondered what happens when you try to use bike disc brakes to slow down a massive lathe running at 800rpm?

Love the little puffs of smoke/steam at the end....
I liked his optimism that sintered pads or a 'DH brake' would fare significantly better in such a brutal test.
That's giving me idea's about making a similar set up for the lathe at work to bed my pads in 8)
The comments on that video are funny saying saints & ice techs would destroy the lathe 😆 He was purposely trying to get the hose to break at the end by pulling on it looking at the extreme angle it was bent over at coming out of the caliper!
Loving the smoke rings!!

Discs are TEH EVILZ! BAN THEM! BAN THEM NOW!
If it was a Hope caliper he could just buy some new seals and pistons but he's buggered as he used a shimano.
