The Combination Lathe With The Right Combination of Speed and Value

AMMCO's new Model 3860 brake lathe is for shops that need speed, disc/drum versatility, and low maintenance operation.

This is a new design that incorporates many "Voice of the Customer" features that shops have told us they wanted to see in a lathe. We listened, and we built a brake lathe that works for a broad range of businesses.

The Model 3860 lathe features negative rake tools that greatly increases the life of cutting bits. A new chip diversion guard system keeps metal shavings out of the operating mechanisms of the unit, stopping hang-ups and cutting maintenance. The 3860 has been designed for faster setup between drum and rotor operation, and easier drum machining.

Training an operator to handle a wide range of brake jobs with the 3860 is a fast, simple process. As is running the lathe in your day to day business.

The Best Selling Brake Lathe of All Time

Since its introduction nearly 40 years ago, the AMMCO Model 4000 has been a favorite of brake technicians everywhere.

The Model 4000 features twin cutter tools and quick drum-to-rotor changeover. Adjustable spindle speeds allow for easy rough cut/finish cut settings, and there's an infinitely adjustable spindle-feed gear box.

The Model 4000 supports drums or rotors up to 100 lbs. using the standard one inch (25.4mm) arbor, or up to 200 lbs. using the optional 1.875 inch (47.63mm) arbor (Part #3481).

It's the best seller because year after year it performs the best.

On Vehicle Brake Lathe

The Model 710 Brake Lathe and Rotor Driving Unit offer the perfect solution to correcting lateral run-out and thickness variation. The Model 710 is especially handy when removing the rotor from the vehicle is time consuming or difficult.

The rotor driving unit is designed to provide a convenient and more accurate alternative to running the vehicles' engine to turn the rotors while machining.

The brake lathe and rotor driving unit are also sold separately.
