Heavy-Duty Brake Machining for Trucks & Buses
Tailored for the professional refurbishment of large-scale vehicle brake parts, the T8470 heavy-duty brake lathe supports brake drum machining up to 700 mm and brake disc processing up to 550 mm. It perfectly solves the machining limitations of standard brake lathes, fully meeting the special maintenance needs of heavy-duty trucks, buses, and various commercial vehicles — an essential investment for any truck repair shop or fleet maintenance center.
Dual-Function Disc & Drum Machining with Simultaneous Dual-Side Cutting
Integrated with dedicated dual machining functions for brake discs and drums, the T8470 enables one-machine completion of various brake resurfacing work. The unique twin-cutter design allows both faces of the brake disc to be turned simultaneously, dramatically boosting cutting efficiency. It effectively removes uneven surface wear and defects on worn brake components, restoring standard smooth friction surfaces and avoiding costly direct part replacement — greatly lowering workshop maintenance costs.
Infinitely Variable Feed & 3-Speed Spindle for Heavy-Duty Stability
Adopting a high-rigidity 600 kg body structure and a reliable 1.5 kW transmission system, the T8470 is equipped with multi-level adjustable spindle speeds of 30, 54, and 80 RPM. Infinitely variable feed rates in both directions allow precise control for rough cutting or fine finishing. It maintains stable and consistent cutting quality during long-term, high-frequency repeated operations, fully adapting to the intensive working environment of professional maintenance workshops.
Auto-Stop & Special Support for Heavy Brake Drums
An adjustable turning depth limit with an automatic stop function prevents over-cutting and protects large brake components from damage. A specially reinforced support structure ensures exceptional stability when turning heavy brake drums up to 700 mm in diameter. This makes the T8470 an ideal professional solution for truck repair centers, bus maintenance stations, and fleet service workshops, expanding your service scope and providing comprehensive one-stop brake repair solutions.

FAQ
1 Can the T8470 handle brake drums from large trucks and buses?
Yes. The T8470 is a heavy-duty brake drum turning machine specifically engineered for large commercial vehicle brake drums. Its powerful motor, rigid construction, and large machining capacity enable it to handle the oversized brake drums found on heavy trucks, buses, trailers, and other commercial fleet vehicles with consistent precision and reliability.
2 Why is a dedicated brake drum turning machine like the T8470 important for commercial vehicle service?
Commercial vehicle brake drums are large, heavy, and require substantial cutting forces that general-purpose lathes cannot safely or accurately deliver. The T8470 is purpose-built with the structural rigidity, power, and specialized tooling needed to machine these heavy components, ensuring accurate results and operator safety that a general lathe cannot provide.
3 What types of vehicles is the T8470 suitable for?
The T8470 is designed for heavy-duty commercial vehicles including semi-trucks, dump trucks, buses, trailers, concrete mixers, and other large fleet vehicles. Its robust design handles the largest commonly used brake drum sizes in the commercial transportation industry, making it an essential machine for truck repair shops and fleet maintenance facilities.
4 How does the T8470 maintain stability when machining heavy brake drums?
The T8470 features a heavy cast iron base and frame that provides exceptional mass and rigidity, absorbing cutting forces and preventing vibration even when machining the heaviest brake drums. Its reinforced spindle assembly and precision bearing system ensure stable rotation and consistent cutting accuracy, regardless of the drum weight.
5 Is the T8470 a good investment for a commercial vehicle repair shop?
Yes. Heavy-duty brake drum turning is a high-value, recurring service in the commercial vehicle repair industry. Owning a T8470 allows your shop to offer on-site drum resurfacing, dramatically reducing turnaround time and costs compared to outsourcing. For fleet maintenance facilities, the machine typically pays for itself through savings on replacement drums and reduced vehicle downtime.
6 If the machine breaks down, how do you provide after-sales support? Do you provide operation videos?
Yes. We provide comprehensive after-sales support, including remote technical assistance, online troubleshooting, operation manuals, demonstration videos, maintenance tutorials, and live video guidance. If replacement parts are required, genuine spare parts can be supplied quickly to minimize downtime and keep your machine running efficiently.
7 Can you issue Certificates of Origin (CO), Form A, Form E, or other export documents?
Yes. We can provide the necessary export documents — including Certificates of Origin (CO) and other preferential certificates such as Form E — in accordance with the trade agreements and customs requirements of the destination country. We can also assist you in preparing commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and other export documentation.
8 What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)? Do you support OEM & ODM customization?
Our standard MOQ is 1 machine for most models. We also provide OEM and ODM services for distributors and equipment brands, including custom logos, machine colors, nameplates, voltage, packaging, and other specifications to meet your market requirements.
9 Which shipping ports do you use? Can you deliver to my designated warehouse?
We typically ship from major Chinese ports, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai. We can also arrange delivery to your designated warehouse, freight forwarder, or project site through flexible international shipping solutions.
10 How long does delivery take to my country?
Production typically takes 7-35 days, depending on the machine model and order quantity. Shipping time varies by destination and transportation method. Once your order is confirmed, we will provide a detailed production schedule and estimated delivery time.
