Hunter's BL505 Combination Brake Lathe Offers Features for Speed, Precision and Versatility![]() The unique design allows the operator to change the setup from rotors to drums and vice versa with unprecedented speed and ease. The lathe's mass of over 500 lbs. provides stability for the accurate machining of drums or rotors. All controls are located on the front of the lathe, eliminating the need to move to the rear for additional setup. Three spindle speeds provide the correct speed for any size work piece. Spindle speeds can be changed easily without tools simply by lifting the motor inside the main housing, adjusting the belt onto the desired pulley and releasing the motor. An infinitely adjustable feed rate is standard, providing a “dial-in” fast rate for rapid material removal, very slow for final surface finish or any rate in between for a one-cut pass. Both positive and negative rake tooling are available. HunterPro brake lathe adaptor kits are available to customize the brake lathe to match the service profile of a shop. Four levels of adaptor kits cover the ability to service most rotors, drums and flywheels from passenger cars to one-ton trucks. The optional Digi-Cal electronic measuring system determines depth of cut for rotors and drums more accurately than the traditional “slip collar” method. Digi-Cal also measures rotor thickness and drum diameter and calculates the total indicated runout of the work piece. Hand-held measuring tools are not required.
