Key Features
Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT)
Patented variable spindle speed oscillates machining speed to prevent vibration buildup, delivering smoother surface finishes and faster cutting performance without chatter bands or auxiliary devices.
Digi-Cal Digital Measurement
Instantly measures drum or rotor dimensions and depth of cut with pushbutton control, helping technicians verify thickness and avoid cutting below manufacturer specifications for safer, more accurate work.
Tablet Interface with Training
Integrated tablet provides on-screen messages, animations, operation videos, and Bit Minder tracking to increase efficiency and simplify on-the-job training for new technicians.
Quick Rotor-to-Drum Changeover
Unique design allows operators to change the lathe setup from rotors to drums and vice versa in seconds, bringing unprecedented speed and versatility to your brake service workflow.
Adjustable Feed Rate and Speed
Dial in fast feed for rapid material removal or slow for final surface finish. Variable spindle speeds (85, 110, 175 RPM) provide correct cutting speed for all workpiece sizes with one-cut pass capability.
Integrated Dust Collection System
Enclosed dust collection hood protects air quality and allows viewing of the workpiece during machining, while keeping frequently-used adaptors stored within easy reach and shielded from brake dust.
