Key Features
Anti-Chatter Technology
Patented Variable-Speed Drive System oscillates spindle speed to prevent vibration buildup, enabling cuts approximately twice as fast as conventional lathes while delivering superior surface finish quality.
Automatic Compensation
Five adjustments occur in a single revolution to directly determine compensation and eliminate wandering, correcting hub runout and alignment issues during resurfacing for a better, longer-lasting brake job.
Tablet Interface with Digi-Cal
Touchscreen control allows full lathe operation from tablet with instant access to rotor specs, thickness and depth cut display, on-board training videos, and efficient cutting bit usage tracking.
Precision Measuring System
Digi-Cal measuring system located at the end of the cutter shaft accurately measures rotor dimensions and depth of cut, with bright LED illumination and warnings when attempting to cut below manufacturer spec.
Comprehensive Adaptor Package
Includes passenger adaptors and adjustable adaptors to handle 3-, 4-, and 5-lug vehicles with 112-210mm bolt patterns, providing coverage of almost all vehicles up to 3500 series trucks.
Class-Leading Power and Speed
1.5 HP motor delivers 50% more power than competitive lathes with class-leading variable speed and torque to service difficult vehicles, while controls remain upright and easy to read on both sides.
