Hunter Unveils New BL Series Bench Lathe

Nov. 21, 2019

The new BL Series bench lathe from Hunter Engineering Co. is designed to eliminate the buildup of vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining rotors at a fixed speed.

The new BL Series bench lathe features Hunter's patented Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT). Hunter says ACT provides the smoothest possible rotor finish without the use of chatter bands or other unnecessary devices.

Additionally, the BL Series features optional Digi-Cal, which helps technicians quickly verify rotor thickness and accurately determine cut depth for a perfect one-cut pass.

Hunter says technicians can use its latest bench lathe to provide faster service by changing from rotors to drums in seconds. Spindle speed adjustment can be achieved with a push of a button.
