Pet peeve of mine is photo-etch disk brakes that still don't look real. Someone who can lathe turn an arbor could sell these! Tools required: Dremel motor tool Cordless drill Cut-off disk arbor Washers Nail sanding stick Optional: Waldon punch, aluminum plate First thing I did was make a washer that fit inside these brakes, out of aluminum printing plate. Found appropriate sized washers in my stash box. It took numerous attempts to get the disk centered, this cordless drill is variable speed, so I would watch and then adjust. It doesn't require high speed to do this. I held the drill between my legs, turned on with my left hand, and held the sanding stick working it back and forth. I would have done a video, but I have only two hands. Note to photo-etch makers, would be nice to have a washer that fits inside. I could see a machined arbor that would make it so much easier.
