The new Pro-Cut Brake Solutions X1 HD On-Truck Brake Lathe is designed for shops performing heavy-duty brake service, including resurfacing brake rotors on trucks and buses.  Pro-Cut said the new brake lathe can save time, increase profitability, and reduce downtime, getting heavy-duty vehicles back on the road quickly and efficiently.

Pro-Cut manufactures and markets patented brake service equipment, including rotor matching systems, bench lathes, and wheel handling solutions. 

“The Pro-Cut X1 HD Brake Lathe is expertly designed for all types of trucks and buses, and service providers will realize instant value when they start using it,” said Jeff Hastings, president of Pro-Cut. “An example is the Freightliner Class 8 tractor-trailer truck where removing and resurfacing one disc can be a six-hour operation. With the new X1 brake lathe, service providers can resurface that same disc in 30 minutes or less. That significant time savings increases profitability and reduces vehicle downtime from days to hours.”

The Pro-Cut X1 is powered by a 48V DC variable speed motor with the power to turn bus and truck axles. Its low-range gearbox provides ample torque while adjustable tool arms and 190-mm feed screws allow techs to match-machine the largest rotors in the industry.
