  • HunterPro Self-Aligning Wrenchless Arbor Nut †
    Allows for quick setup while removing risk of potential overtightening and minor mounting errors.
  • Digi-Cal* Auto Measurement Caliper Option
    Instantly measures drum or rotor dimensions to determine if the workpiece should be discarded prior to machining.
  • Choice of Brake Lathe Tooling
    Positive rake tooling ships standard with all lathe packages; negative rake tooling is available as an option.
  • 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.

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

* Patented
† Option depending on selected model.

  • 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.”
  • Convenient Tool Tray
    Keep favorite brake lathe tooling within easy reach. A built-in tray is located near the front of the machine.
  • Easy-To-Access Spindle Speeds
    User-adjustable speed settings provide the correct speed for all size workpieces. No tools required.
  • Durable, Heavy-Duty Construction
    The lathe’s mass of over 500 lbs. helps ensure better stability and accuracy when machining a workpiece.
  • Easy-To-Use Clamp Screw
    Allows the operator to quickly change setup from rotors to drums and vice-versa.
  • Twin Work Lamps
    Lamps use brighter, more durable bulbs to illuminate both sides of the workpiece.
