T8445 Heavy-Duty Brake Disc Lathe with 200 kg Loading and 450 mm Processing Length for 0.001 mm Precision

Manufactured by Howann, the T8445 Heavy-Duty Brake Disc & Drum Refurbishment Lathe Machine delivers an industrial-grade resurfacing solution engineered for busy automotive service centers, commercial fleet repair bays, and brake rebuilding specialists. Designed to process both deep brake drums and wide-diameter ventilated brake rotors, this machine restores original flat tolerances and smooth micro-finishes to eliminate brake pedal vibration, noise, and uneven pad wear.

Constructed on a heavy-gauge 250-grade cast-iron bed frame weighing 260 kg, the Howann T8445 is engineered to absorb intense mechanical chatter during heavy material removal passes. Supporting workpieces up to 200 kg in weight with a generous 450 mm maximum processing length and 350 mm swing capacity, the lathe utilizes a high-torque 1.1 kW electric motor. With multi-gear spindle speed regulation (30 to 80 rpm) and rapid-response feed slides, technicians can execute high-precision cutting with accuracy down to 0.001 mm.

• 250-Grade High-Density Cast Body: Built with optimized internal ribbing to maximize structural rigidity and suppress resonant vibration during deep cutting passes.
• Extended 450 mm Processing Length: Accommodates longer hub assemblies, deep brake drums, and wide rotor shafts without extension arbors.
• Heavy-Duty 200 kg Loading Rating: Reinforced spindle structure easily handles heavy commercial vehicle rotors and thick pickup brake drums.
• Multi-Speed Torque Control (30-80 RPM): Multi-gear speed settings allow technicians to match optimal spindle torque with varying alloy metal hardness.
• Fully Sealed Sheet Metal Guarding: Protects operators from metal chip debris and splashing cutting fluids for a safer, cleaner workshop environment.

• Arbor Mounting & Centering: Secure the brake drum or rotor onto the rigid main spindle arbor using precision ground centering cones and adapters.
• Speed Selection & Tool Alignment: Select the target spindle gear speed (30-80 rpm) and align the tool post cutters to desired skim depth.
• Engage Automatic Feed: Engage the smooth cross-feed drive to execute hands-free, uniform skimming across the friction surfaces.
• Quality Check & Unloading: Verify surface roughness and parallelism with micrometer gauges, then dismount the refurbished component.

• Commercial Truck & Fleet Service Bays: Refurbishing heavy-duty brake drums and vented rotors for light commercial trucks, vans, and utility fleets.
• Automotive Dealership Maintenance: Precision reconditioning of passenger car, SUV, and crossover brake components during routine pad replacements.
• Brake Component Remanufacturing Workshops: High-volume reconditioning centers rebuilding aftermarket brake discs and drums.
• Tire & Suspension Franchise Clinics: Professional add-on service for machining warped rotors during brake system overhauls.

• Motor Power Upgrades: Optional 1.5 kW motor setup for high-duty continuous machining facilities.
• Multi-Grid Voltage Configurations: Factory wired for 220V 50Hz/60Hz single-phase or 380V three-phase regional power grids.
• Expanded Adapter Cone Sets: Specialized hub adapter rings covering European, Asian, and American light truck fitments.
