can a flywheel be resurfaced on a brake lathe?
i got a used flywheel that's pretty rough today, can i cut it down on a brake lathe or is there a special machine just for flywheels. i have access to a brake lathe for free.

Absolutely not!! I used to work in a machine shop and turned MANY flywheels.
The flywheel machine puts a 4* taper on the flywheel so it is self cleaning. We had a few come in that had been turned on a lathe. Takes a while longer to grind those!!
