Overview

The Hunter ACE10 Passenger Brake Lathe is an on-car brake lathe that combines automatic compensation technology with passenger vehicle adaptors for efficient rotor resurfacing. Part of Hunter's AutoComp Elite series, the ACE10 features a standard tablet interface that provides full lathe control, built-in training videos, and quick adaptor lookup capabilities. The system compensates in 12 seconds or less on average using direct compensation, eliminating guesswork and reducing setup time. With patented Anti-Chatter Technology and a Variable-Speed Drive System, the ACE10 cuts rotors twice as fast as traditional lathes while delivering a smoother surface finish. Its 1.5-hp motor and reverse rotation capability handle high driveline drag vehicles including trucks and performance cars.

Key Features

Automatic Direct Compensation

Compensates in 12 seconds or less on average by directly determining the position of internal plates, eliminating wandering compensation and reducing setup time

Anti-Chatter Technology

Patented system oscillates machining speed to prevent vibration buildup, resulting in a smoother surface finish and enabling faster cutting performance

Variable-Speed Drive System

1.5-hp motor with up to 150 rpm allows technicians to cut rotors approximately twice as fast as other lathes while avoiding locked differentials on trucks

Tablet Interface with Training

Standard touchscreen provides full lathe control, instant access to rotor specs and vehicle database, on-board operation videos, and efficient cutting bit tracking

Reverse Rotation Capability

Handles high driveline drag vehicles with reverse rotation feature, making trucks and performance vehicles easier to service without removing drivetrain components

Passenger Vehicle Adaptors Included

Comes standard with passenger adaptors for common vehicle applications; optional Pro and Adjustable Adaptors available for coverage up to 3500 series trucks

Ideal Applications

Passenger cars and light-duty vehicles with 3-, 4-, and 5-lug patterns
Light trucks and SUVs (with optional Pro or Adjustable Adaptors)
High-performance vehicles requiring precision rotor resurfacing
Vehicles with high driveline drag or integral parking brakes

Other Configurations

This model is also built in 1 other configuration. They are the same machine with a different build. Liftnow quotes whichever one matches your specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles can the ACE10 service with the included passenger adaptors?+
The ACE10 comes standard with passenger adaptors for 3-, 4-, and 5-lug vehicles. When paired with optional Pro Adaptors and Adjustable Adaptors (plus extended twin cutter), it can service almost all vehicles up to 3500 series trucks, covering bolt patterns from 112-210mm.
How does Anti-Chatter Technology improve the cutting process?+
Anti-Chatter Technology varies the spindle speed during operation to prevent the buildup of vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining rotors at a fixed speed. This results in a smoother surface finish and allows the lathe to cut approximately twice as fast as traditional lathes without sacrificing quality.
What is the difference between the ACE10 and other AutoComp Elite models?+
The ACE10 includes a standard tablet interface and passenger adaptors but does not include the Digi-Cal rotor measurement system. Models with Digi-Cal (like ACE11, ACE12, ACE13) can instantly measure rotor dimensions and depth of cut from the end of the cutter shaft, displaying warnings when attempting to cut below manufacturer specifications.
Why is on-car brake lathe resurfacing better than bench lathe service?+
Machining rotors on the vehicle ensures they are true to the vehicle and addresses issues like hub runout or improper alignment that swapping rotors cannot fix. The AutoComp Elite corrects these alignment issues during resurfacing, ensuring the rotor matches the vehicle's unique geometry for superior performance and maximum brake life.
