Infinitely adjustable feed rates allow you to easily modify cut speeds with the simple turn of a dial. Now you can reduce or increase the cut-time for the best finish results, whether you're speeding through an initial rough cut or a single-pass micro-finish. This complete lathe package includes the lathe, a sturdy bench and large tool storage backboards, so you can hang all your adapters within close reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the common problems that plague other brake lathes is the vibration and chatter transfer that directly affects the tool-tip and leaves an imperfect cut on the machined surface. The RL-8500 brake lathe by Ranger is specifically designed to address this issue by eliminating the need for gear-driven mechanical drives and variable-speed transmission devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRanger brake lathes replaced antiquated transmission\/gears found on other brands. You would be surprised if you stood back and watched a brake lathe machine finish a cut on a rotor or drum or flywheel. Brake rotors are very smooth—at least, they should be. If you were to turn a rotor on any lathe then drop a hammer on the floor next to the lathe, you would see a noticeable degradation of the cut at the moment of impact. Vibrations cause frequencies, which get transferred to the finished cut. Because the Ranger RL-8500 brake lathe does not use gears and transmissions, we completely eliminate multiple frequencies that could degrade the machining finish. The formation of surface roughness is usually the result of the tool feed rate, spindle rotational speed, tool geometry, material properties and relative tool-work vibration. With Ranger, vibrations and chatter from gears, bearings and mechanical drive parts are eliminated. Remember, these are the same vibrations that are often transferred to the tool-tip, leaving irregular cuts on the machined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RL-8500 brake lathe upgrades everything: more features and versatility, better performance, superior utility and the most productivity you’ve ever imagined. That’s what makes this one of the soundest investments for yourself and your business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimple, durable, trouble-free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRanger brake lathes are easy to operate and durable enough to withstand the everyday abuses of a busy shop environment.

As a preferred supplier of quality automotive service equipment, our goal is simple: give our customers the best quality and value while providing unparalleled service and support. Why does Ranger offer you so much more? We don’t just believe in developing superior products, we believe in creating solutions that make your job easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime-tested construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince its introduction nearly four decades ago, the design of our RL-8500 combination brake lathe has been a favorite of brake technicians everywhere. 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 1\" arbor provides you with a multitude of tooling and adapter choices from either Ranger or other aftermarket suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission-free, dual servo motors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absence of gear-driven mechanical drives and variable-speed transmission devices reduces service and repair costs dramatically over the unit's lifetime.
