Worn or warped brake rotors can lead to pulsating brakes, reduced stopping power, and uneven wear on your brake pads. Traditional brake lathes often struggle with vibration and chatter during operation, resulting in imperfect finishes on resurfaced rotors. These imperfections can compromise braking performance and may even shorten the lifespan of brakes - and lives. This means more frequent repairs and higher maintenance costs down the road and the possibility of ending up in a tree.
The RL-8500 Brake Lathe tackles these issues with its revolutionary design. It ditches the traditional gearbox and transmission system, known for causing vibrations that affect cut quality. Instead, it utilizes precision electric DC servo motors for a smoother, more consistent operation. The RL-8500 also boasts features like a quick-change adapter system, massive tapered spindle bearings for superior weight handling, and a convenient top storage tray for easy access to tools. This translates to a faster workflow, better ergonomics, and most importantly, flawless resurfacing for optimal braking performance. Take control of your braking performance. Upgrade to the RL-8500 Brake Lathe and experience the difference a smooth, precise resurfacing job can make.
