The heavy-duty, extended RL-8500XLT combination brake lathe is capable of truing a full 10-inch deep brake drum. It features independent DC servo motors to command both the spindle feed drives and cross feed drives. This eliminates complex gear boxes and transmissions found on mechanically-driven lathes. The new heavy-duty RL-8500XLT combination brake lathe from Ranger features an extended capacity spindle and can turn a drum that’s up to 10-inch deep. The longer spindle and the relocated rear bushing provide the RL-8500XLT arbor with enough support to handle your heaviest drums, rotors and flywheels.
