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. The standard model builds on the base by adding a tablet for more convenient control, plus rotor thickness specification, multilingual training videos and adaptor and vehicle lookup. The premium Digi-Cal model can make live measurements of rotor thickness, comparing them to specifications to ensure a job done right the first time. Additionally, new adjustable adaptors, paired with passenger adaptors, can support virtually all vehicles up to 3500 series trucks.
How ACT 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.

Anti-Chatter Technology
Stop chatter before it starts with Anti-Chatter Technology
Anti-Chatter Technology varies the spindle speed to keep chatter-inducing vibration from starting, resulting in a smooth finish.
When machining at a fixed-speed, chatter can start almost immediately. Once that happens, it is already too late; the surface has been ruined.
ACT eliminates the need for hazardous bands, clips or silencer belts needed to control vibration.

Better brake service starts with
Increased speed and accuracy
Hunter's AutoComp Elite® on-vehicle brake lathe compensates in under 12 seconds, on average, using direct compensation. Other methods may take up to two minutes using wandering compensation.
Automatic Compensation enhances speed and accuracy by calculating the exact position of the compensation plates to eliminate guesswork. Direct compensation exceeds the most stringent OE requirements and can make as many as 5 adjustments in a single revolution.
Superior performance features
Easily service difficult vehicles
Service rotors in half the time
The Variable-Speed Drive System allows technicians to resurface rotors at the fastest possible speed without sacrificing quality. Variable speed also means the ACE lathe can avoid locking differentials on trucks and performance vehicles.
Don't remove drive train components
Cut rotors on vehicles that have high driveline drag with reverse rotation and an industry leading 1.5-hp motor, making trucks and performance vehicles easy tasks. Helping you avoid adding time to the job and the risk of removing drive train components!
Digi-Cal measurement
Instantly measure rotor dimensions and depth of cut
Measuring system is located in housing on the end of the cutter shaft.
Bright LED light puts light where you need it - on the backside of the rotor.
Does not lose calibration when turned off or stored.
Easy viewing with Digi-Cal screen
Save space
16 adaptors can be replaced by 5 adaptors
- 3,4, and 5 adaptors handle up to 3500 series trucks.
- Handles 112mm through 210 bolt patterns.
- Nearly 100% coverage up to 3500 series trucks with ext. twin cutter.

Brakes Plus
Denver, COOnce I put this lathe into service in a store, the technicians are more likely to use the AutoComp Elite® vs. ‘Brand X’ as they have so much more confidence in what the finished product will be.
