Key Features
DigiCal Instant Measurement
Pushbutton speed control instantly measures and displays drum or rotor dimensions and depth of cut for quick calibration and greater accuracy, helping technicians achieve perfect one-cut passes.
Anti-Chatter Technology
Variable spindle speed keeps chatter-inducing vibration from starting, ensuring a smooth finish without chatter bands or unnecessary devices while cutting faster than traditional fixed-speed lathes.
Touchscreen Tablet Control
On-screen messages, animations, operation videos, and Bit Minder system increase efficiency by guiding technicians through setup, calibration, and operation while tracking cutting bit usage.
Quick Rotor-to-Drum Changeover
Unique combination lathe design allows operators to change setup from rotors to drums and vice versa in seconds with unprecedented speed and ease for maximum shop productivity.
Adjustable Feed Rate Control
Dial in adjustable feed rate from faster rapid removal to slower final surface finish, allowing technicians to cut rotors in one pass and adapt to different material conditions.
Integrated Storage & Lighting
Built-in adaptor storage keeps frequently-used tools within easy reach but protected from brake dust, while adjustable LED work lamps illuminate both sides of the workpiece for improved visibility.
