The Pro-Cut X19 cordless on-car brake lathe has been approved by Subaru for use by its dealerships and service providers when performing brake service and repairs. 

The X19 is powered by a 48V 50Ah rechargeable battery and can machine up to 30 discs, translating to over eight hours of operating time from a single charge. The lathe can be plugged in for immediate power if needed. This product provides disc tracking, maintenance alerts, and variable speed control. 

According to Pro-Cut, a variable speed DC motor delivers smooth, clean, and consistent power for OE-quality finishes on a wide variety of modern vehicle platforms, including trucks with speed-sensitive locking rear acles.

What people are saying

“The Pro-Cut X19 is one of the most technologically advanced on-car brake lathes available. Because it is the first cordless on-car lathe, it enhances productivity and offers versatility like no other,” said Jeff Hastings, president of Pro-Cut. “We want to thank Subaru for approving the X19 for use by Subaru service providers. By repairing, not replacing brake rotors, the increased profitability, customer satisfaction and environmental benefits are a win-win for Subaru dealers and vehicle owners.”
