It's simple, it's fast, it's precise and it runs forever. It features our twin-cutter tool head with micrometer dials and quick drum-to-rotor changeover. The adjustable speed settings allow you to quickly rough-cut rotors or slowly give them a fine, smooth cut. An infinitely adjustable spindle-feed gear box provides variable speed settings, providing finish cuts that meet or exceed factory specs. Our negative rake tooling yields one-pass finish cuts every time, and the standard 1in arbor provides you with a multitude of tooling and adapter choices from either Ranger or other aftermarket suppliers.
