RL-8500
Brake Lathe
The revolutionary RL-8500 Combination Disc / Drum Brake Lathe uses independent DC servo motors to control the cross feed and spindle feed drives, eliminating the need for complex mechanical gear boxes and transmissions typically found on mechanically-driven lathes.
RL-8500 Brake
Lathe Kit Description The ruggedly built RL-8500 is capable of faster, more accurate and easier resurfacing than any other brake lathe in its class. 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 best finish results, whether you’re speeding through an initial rough cut or a single pass micro-finish. This complete lathe package includes lathe, a sturdy bench and large tool storage backboards, so you can hang all adapters within close reach.
The revolutionary RL-8500 uses independent DC servo motors to control the cross feed and spindle feed drives, eliminating the need for complex mechanical gear boxes and transmissions typically found on mechanically driven lathes. The absence of gear driven mechanical drives and variable‐speed transmission devices reduces service and repair costs dramatically over the unit’s lifetime. Vibration and chatter from gears, bearings and mechanical drive parts are eliminated—the same kind of vibration that is usually transferred to the tool-tip to leave irregular cuts in the machined finish.
The RL-8500 simply offers more—more features, more performance, more utility, more flexibility and more productivity than you’ve ever imagined. That’s what makes this one of the soundest investments for yourself and your business.
Heavy-duty bench comes standard
While others charge extra, we include this sturdy steel bench with large tool storage backboards so you can hang all your adapters with an arm’s reach. A durable multi-compartment toolbox provides storage for all adapters and accessories. Large chip "catch" funnel and chip bin keeps work area clean and safe.
Easily change from rotors to drums
A convenient quick-change tool-head design allows operators to quickly change the setup from drums to rotors and vice-versa. Up-front controls are designed for minimal operator movement. A handy tool tray is located near the front of the machine, so you can keep your favorite brake lathe tools nearby.
A tradition of service
Superior quality, durability and precision, that’s what makes Ranger the growing choice of professionals worldwide. Whatever your brake service needs may be, you can rely on Ranger to deliver the right equipment for the job. 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? Because we don’t just believe in developing superior products, we believe in creating solutions that make your job easier.
Simple, durable, trouble-free
Ranger brake lathes are easy to operate and durable enough to withstand the every day abuses of a busy shop environment. A super-heavy, forged, hardened, cast iron body combined with precision ground components and massive "floating spindles" make this one of the toughest, most dependable and trouble-free machines you will ever own.
Safe and easy to use
Our sensible ergonomic design allows you to work quickly and efficiently. Simple up-front controls are designed for minimal operator movement. Large bench with tool storage boards provide ample space for adapters and accessories.
A proven design that will perform year after year
Since its introduction nearly four decades ago, the design of our RL-8500 has been a favorite of brake technicians everywhere. It's simple, it's fast, it's very 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 a multitude of tooling and adapter choices from either Ranger or other aftermarket suppliers.
Durable work lamp
Keeps your work area properly lighted, even in the darkest corners of your shop. Separate switch lets you turn on or off at your convenience.
Safety shield
Clear Plexiglas safety shield for user safety.
Let the chips fly
Large chip "catch" funnel and bin keeps work area clean and safe.
Adjustable stop
Position the cross feed stop so the lathe stops automatically after the cut is made.
Truck adapter set
Our super-duty adapter package consists of an upgraded 1-7/8" arbor and a wide variety of adapters. This enormous multi-piece set allows you to expand the coverage to handle virtually any vehicle, all the way through 1-ton trucks! Check out the RL-8500 Truck Adapter Package now.
In contrast to
mechanically-driven transmission and gear boxes, the RL-8500 uses 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 on all cars or trucks,
both foreign and domestic, with hubless drums, rotors (center hole sized
2-5/32" – 4") and composite rotors (center hole sized 4"
– 6-1/4")
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

Our 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 gears which 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 450-lb. cast iron body and a
solid work bench reduces 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
