The heavy-duty Ranger RL-8500XLT Super-Duty Brake Lathe delivers professional-grade drum and rotor truing for automotive service shops. With independent DC servo motors, precision spindle control, and extended 10-inch drum capacity, this machine handles everything from standard passenger vehicles to heavy-duty trucks. The Quick-Change Adapter-Plus system enables fast rotor-to-drum changeover, while variable speed settings (150–200 rpm) and infinite feed controls optimize both rough and finish cuts. Rugged cast-iron construction, tapered spindle bearings, and splash-lube oil circulation ensure years of reliable, vibration-free operation. Works on hubless drums and rotors from 2-5/32 inches to 6.25 inches center hole diameter. Includes comprehensive tooling package: dual tapered collets, backing plates, centering cones, twin cutter assembly, and truck adapters. Mounts on included workbench. Ideal for high-volume shops requiring consistent accuracy and minimal downtime.
Features:
- The extended capacity spindle can be used on brake drums 10in deep
- The rear bushing location provides extra support for the arbor
- Capable of truing even the heaviest drum rotors
- In contrast to mechanically-driven transmission and gearboxes, the RL-8500XLT 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 2-5/32in - 4in, and composite rotors / center hole sized 4in - 6.25in
- The RL-8500XLT is equipped with features that help increase your service capability, like precision twin cutter tools and a quick drum-to-rotor changeover.
- Infinite 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 units easy to learn and master.
- The RL-8500XLT 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 workbench reduces transient vibrations, ensuring a smooth uninterrupted surface finish with each pass
- Easily change arbor speeds in seconds: choose 150 or 200 rpm, depending on the job
- Positive rake cutter tip angle provides for a single-pass finish virtually every time, allowing you to complete your work faster than with inferior multi-pass lathes
- Optional truck adapter kit available
