Key Features At A Glance

Fast Changeover

Change from servicing rotors to drums in seconds!

Digi-Cal* Auto Measurement Caliper Option

Instantly measures drum or rotor dimensions to determine if the workpiece should be discarded prior to machining.

Simple Operating Controls

Controls are conveniently located on the front of the lathe; there’s no need for the operator to move to the rear.

Disc/Drum Control Lockout and Warning Indicator Light

Eliminates potential “crashing” of the machine in drum or disc modes, even with first-time operators.

Infinitely Adjustable Feed Rate

“Dial-In” fast rate for rapid material removal, very slow for final surface finish or any rate in between for a “one-cut pass.”

The lathe’s mass of over 500 lbs. helps ensure better stability and accuracy when machining a workpiece.

Lamps use brighter, more durable bulbs to illuminate both sides of the workpiece.

Optional Dust Containment System

Designed to contain brake machining dust and metal particles that can potentially stain wet surfaces in the automotive shop environment
