Hunter's AutoComp Elite® Brake Lathe at Laura Ford
Mike Wehrle, Service Manager at Laura Ford in Sullivan, MO talks about the superior surface finish and fast automatic compensation on rotor cuts they get from using the AutoComp Elite® brake lathe.
The AutoComp Elite® Family of On-Car Brake Lathes
The base AutoComp Elite® model combines its industry-leading cutting speed with automatic compensation for even greater performance.
How Anti-Chatter Technology Works
An in-depth explination on how Hunter Engineering’s Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT) works on Hunter’s BL Series Bench Lathe and the on-car lathe, AutoComp Elite®. This technology provides better brake rotor surface finish while also allowing the lathe to cut much faster.
The Benefits of On-Car Brake Lathes
This video explores the causes of vehicle brake shudder and explains why resurfacing rotors on the vehicle provides a better, longer lasting brake job.
Boost efficiency
Fast brake service turns a profit for your business
Simplifies operation & “on-the-job” training with built-in training videos.
Measure rotor dimensions and depth of cut accurately from the end of the cutter shaft.
Directly determines compensation and eliminates “wandering”.
Oscillates machining speed to prevent the buildup of vibration.
Cut approximately twice as fast as other lathes.
Class-leading variable speed and torque helps service difficult vehicles.
Choose adaptors to fit lug nut torque specs on your most serviced vehicles.
Controls are always upright and easy to read on both sides.

Quality results
Anti-Chatter Technology
Stop chatter before it starts
Anti-Chatter Technology varies the spindle speed to keep chatter-inducing vibration from starting, resulting in a smooth finish.
- Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT) varies spindle speed to keep chatter-inducing vibration from starting, resulting in a smoother surface finish
- Chatter can start when machining rotors at a fixed speed. This is similar to how a moistened finger can make a crystal glass sing
Anti-Chatter Technology is optional on BL series brake lathes.

Wandering compensation
Unpredictable and inconsistent adjustments happen throughout.
Versatility
Service vehicles with high driveline drag or locking differentials
Variable‑speed drive enables the fastest high‑quality rotor resurfacing and helps prevent differential lock‑up on trucks and performance vehicles.
Reverse rotation and a powerful 1.5‑hp motor allow cutting rotors on vehicles with high driveline drag, making trucks and performance models easier while avoiding extra labor and drivetrain component removal.

Resurface vs. Replace
Swapping rotors may not address issues like hub runout or improper alignment. AutoComp Elite® corrects these alignment issues during resurfacing, ensuring the rotor matches the vehicle’s unique geometry. Resurfacing extends the life of existing rotors instead of discarding them prematurely, which is more sustainable.
