Ranger RL-8500 Brake Lathes

The revolutionary Ranger RL-8500 combination brake lathes use independent DC servo motors to control the cross feed and spindle feed drives, eliminating the need for complex mechanical gear boxes and transmissions typically found on mechanically-driven lathes. The ruggedly built RL-8500 brake lathes are capable of faster, easier, and more accurate rotor/flywheel and drum/flywheel resurfacing than any other brake lathe in its class. Infinitely adjustable feed rates allow you to easily modify cut speeds with the simple turn of a dial. Now you can reduce or increase the cut time for the best finish results, whether you're speeding through an initial rough cut or a single-pass micro-finish. These Ranger lathe packages include the lathe, a sturdy bench and large tool storage backboards, so you can hang all your adapters within close reach. One of the common problems that plague other brake lathes is the vibration and chatter transfer that directly affects the tool-tip and leaves an imperfect cut on the machined surface. The RL-8500 brake lathes by Ranger are specifically designed to address this issue by eliminating the need for gear-driven mechanical drives and variable-speed transmission devices. Show Less
