The Ranger RL-8500XLT Heavy Duty Combination Brake
Lathe offers you more performance, more utility, more flex-
ibility and more productivity than you’ve ever imagined.
The RL-8500XLT provides these features:
• Extended capacity spindle can be used on brake drums
10” deep.
• Rear bushing location provides extra support for the arbor.
• Capable of truing even the heaviest drum rotors.
• In contrast to mechanically-driven transmission and gear
boxes, the RL-8500XLT 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-8500XLT 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-8500XLT maintains accuracy year after year
thanks to ruggedly constructed components, like a
wwhardened, precision ground spindle that resists grooving
and makes boots a thing of the past.
• Massive tapered spindle bearings offer superior weight
support during rotation.
• A 450 pound cast iron body and a solid work bench
eliminates transient vibrations ensuring a smooth
uninterrupted surface finish with each pass.
• An independent cross-feed motor eliminates the need for
plastic or bronze shear gears which are expensive and time
consuming to replace.
• Positive rake cutter tip angle provides for a one pass
finish virtually every time, allowing you to complete your
work faster than multi pass lathes.
• Our deluxe standard adapter package includes a Quick-
Change hubless adapter system that makes mounting
rotors and drums quick and easy
• Easily change arbor speeds in seconds: choose 150 or
200 rpm, depending on the job.
• Optional truck adapter kit available.
