RANGER RL-8500 COMBINATION BRAKE LATHE

RANGER RL-8500 Combination Brake Lathe

FEATURES

• In contrast to mechanically-driven transmission and gear boxes, the RL-8500 uses precision electric DC servo motors designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial motion control
• Quick-Change Adapter-Plus system with built-in springs eliminates the need for conventional bell clamps and cones.
• Works on all cars or trucks, both foreign and domestic, with hubless drums, rotors (center hole sized 2-5/32" – 4") and composite rotors (center hole sized 4" – 6-1/4")
• The RL-8500 is equipped with features that help increase your service capability, like precision twin cutter tools and a quick drum-to-rotor changeover
• Infinitely variable spindle and cross feed speed settings allow for quick rough and precision finish cuts
• Simple ergonomic controls are designed for minimal operator movement
• Legendary control makes unit easy to learn and master.
• The RL-8500 maintains accuracy year after year thanks to ruggedly constructed components, like a hardened, precision ground spindle that resists grooving and makes boots a thing of the past
• Massive tapered spindle bearings offer superior weight support during rotation
• Our exclusive "splash-lube" oil-feed system supplies a constant flow of oil to the bearings making sure they provide years of trouble-free service
• Serpentine belts provide a faster, quieter operation, reducing chatter and vibration
• An independent cross-feed motor eliminates the need for plastic or bronze shear gears which are expensive and time consuming to replace
• A convenient top storage tray means your popular adapters and tools are kept within short reach
• Separate motors on the drum and rotor feed help maximize the main motor's efficiency
• Our deluxe standard adapter package includes a Quick-Change hubless adapter system that makes mounting rotors and drums quick and easy
• A variety of adapters let you machine all standard and composite rotors for foreign and domestic cars and light trucks
• A 450-lb. cast iron body and a solid work bench reduces transient vibrations, ensuring a smooth uninterrupted surface finish with each pass
