Sears Automotive Group has selected the Hunter OCL400 On-Car Lathe exclusively for its 850 retail auto service stores nationwide. The OCL400 won out over competitive lathes after an intensive six-month evaluation that included performance comparison tests in 50 separate stores.

“Testing of this sort is often done in a laboratory setting, but our evaluation was hands-on, conducted in our stores by our technicians,” said George Hoffman, Sears Automotive Group supply and equipment buyer.

Hunter is also the sole provider of alignment and lift rack equipment to the Sears Automotive Group, and Sears has named Hunter both a “Vendor of the Year” and “Partner in Progress.”

The Hunter OCL400’s exclusive ServoDrive system supports features like Pro-Comp computerized compensation and ACT (anti-chatter technology). ACT oscillates machining speed to virtually eliminate vibration buildup (chatter) and finish degradation during rotor machining.
