The BL Series Bench Lathe is a combination bench lathe that brings speed, precision and versatility to your brake service. The unique design of this combination lathe allows the operator to change the setup of the brake lathe from rotors to drums and vice versa with unprecedented speed and ease. Building on the same industry leading design of our previous bench lathe, the new BL Series Bench Lathe now has optional new features!

Laura Ford in Sullivan, MO uses Hunter’s AutoComp Elite® On-Car Brake Lathe to help service a wide variety of vehicles at their dealership. They’ve tried other on-car lathes in the past, but chose the ACE Lathe for easier setup, faster automatic compensation, faster cutting, and its superior surface finish.
The AutoComp Elite® brake lathe features automatic compensation technology. The patent pending automatic compensation system directly determines the position of the internal plates to maximize speed and accuracy without operator intervention. The result is the fastest, highest quality brake job possible.
An in-depth explination on how Hunter Engineering’s Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT) works on Hunter’s BL Series Bench Lathe and the on-car lathe, AutoComp Elite®. This technology provides better brake rotor surface finish while also allowing the lathe to cut much faster.
This video explores the causes of vehicle brake shudder and explains why resurfacing rotors on the vehicle provides a better, longer lasting brake job.

Anti-Chatter Technology changes the spindle speed to keep chatter-inducing vibration from starting
No hazardous bands, clips or silencer belts needed to control vibration
Fixed-speed
Chatter can start when machining rotors at a fixed speed. The same way a moistened finger can make a crystal glass sing. By the time the technician hears the rotor singing, it is already too late; the surface has been ruined.
Oscillating speed
ACT varies the spinning speed to keep chatter inducing vibration from starting. This results in a smoother surface finish.
Protect air quality with the ability to view the work piece during machining.
FEATURE
Store frequently-used adaptors within easy reach.
FEATURE
Adjustable LED lights illuminate both side of workpiece
OPTIONAL
Variable spindle speed keeps chatter-inducing vibration from starting, making a smooth finish.
OPTIONAL
Instantly measure drum or rotor dimensions and depth of cut.
FEATURE
Prevent debris from falling to the floor.
STANDARD
Allow expansion of tool and accessory storage. Easily bolts in place.
FEATURE
Store operation manual, application charts and other reference materials.
Dial in adjustable feed rate for faster, rapid removal to a slower, final surface finish. Allows technicians to cut rotors in one pass.
Optional Digi-Cal uses pushbutton speed control to instantly measure and display dimensions for quick calibration and greater accuracy
The calibration procedure for drums and rotors takes seconds, helping to prevent accidental removal of excess material
Optional DigiCal determines if the piece should be discarded prior to cutting..
