• 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 with hubless drums, rotors (center hole sized 75 mm – 102 mm) and composite rotors (center hole sized 102 mm – 159 mm)
• 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
• 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 gear that 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 204 kg cast iron body and a solid work bench reduce 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 a one-pass finish virtually every time, allowing you to complete your work faster than inferior multi-pass lathes
• Optional truck adapter kit available
