Base Model
AutoComp Elite
Includes: Anti-Chatter Technology ACT, 2X faster cuts, 50% more power, variable speed, reverse operation and more.
Touchscreen interface gives full control of the cut
The optional touchscreen interface allows instant access to rotor specs, thickness and depth cut display, on-board operation videos, and more.
Operation screen
Allows full lathe control from tablet.
On-board training videos
Get techs up to speed quickly.
Vehicle database
Quickly look up adaptors and brake specifications.
BitMinder
Track cutting bit usage efficiently.
Automatic compensation “dials it in”
Eliminate guesswork by accurately calculating direct compensation
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.
16 adaptors can be replaced by 5 adaptors
Service 3-, 4-, and 5-lug vehicles (112-210mm bolt patterns) with coverage of almost all vehicles up to 3500 series trucks when paired with the passenger adaptors and extended twin cutter.
Go completely cordless
The AutoComp Elite on-car brake lathe now offers a new cordless option with a bolt-on shelf for a power pack, enabling the lathe to cut approximately 40 rotors without recharging.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose Hunter’s AutoComp Elite?
Machining rotors on the vehicle ensures they are true to the vehicle and deliver superior performance and maximum brake life. Watch the video
What makes AutoComp Elite different from other brake lathes?
AutoComp Elite features patented Anti-Chatter Technology and a Variable-Speed Drive System, allowing it to cut rotors twice as fast as traditional lathes while delivering a smoother surface finish.
How fast is the compensation process?
Hunter’s direct compensation system automatically compensates in 12 seconds or less on average, eliminating guesswork and reducing setup time.
What is Anti-Chatter Technology and how does it help?
Anti-Chatter Technology varies the spindle speed to prevent vibration buildup, resulting in a smoother surface finish and faster cutting performance.
Can AutoComp Elite measure rotor dimensions?
Yes. The optional Digi-Cal system instantly measures rotor dimensions and depth of cut, helping technicians avoid cutting below manufacturer specifications.
Is the lathe compatible with a wide range of vehicles?
Absolutely. Adaptors are designed to fit nearly all vehicles, from economy cars to medium-duty series trucks.
