Combination Disc/Drum Brake Lathe w Bench & Standard Tooling

Simple, durable, trouble-freeThe beauty of our brake lathes is that they're as easy to use as they are durable in the busiest shops. The super-duty cast-iron design is paired with the most precise ground components, as well as giant floating spindles, all of which make up one of the best pieces of shop equipment on the market.A tradition of serviceRanger Products is proud to be considered among the elite automotive service equipment suppliers in the world. We toot our own horn pretty regularly, we admit, but we do it because we go so far out of our way to prove our claims. Whether it's a safety feature, innovative design or just the ruggedness of the tool itself, no one else comes close to our level of production or service. Our brake lathe units are just one of many incredible products we know you'll enjoy for years to come.Time-tested constructionThe RL-58500 brake lathe has been a staple of ours since it was introduced 40 years ago, so we figured it was time we added the RL-8500XLT as a heavy-duty model of the same design. The XLT model retains the simplicity, speed, precision and durability you expect from Ranger. This brake lathe just might outlive you if that isn't scary to think about. It includes a twin-cutter tool head with micrometer dials, quick drum-to-rotor changeover, adjustable speed settings that allow for quicker rough cuts or slower smooth cuts and an infinitely adjustable spindle-feed gear box with a variety of speed settings.
