Product Overview

In short

The Hofmann 401 is a professional dual speed combination bench brake lathe built to handle brake resurfacing work. It ships with a standard tooling package that covers most passenger cars and light trucks.

What the Hofmann 401 is

The Hofmann 401 is a professional combination bench brake lathe, sold under the True Cut Dual Speed name. Combination means it is intended for brake resurfacing work rather than a single narrow task, and dual speed means the machine offers two cutting speeds instead of one fixed rate. It is a bench lathe, so it is designed to be set up in a fixed location in the shop rather than moved between bays or taken on the road. Hofmann positions the 401 as capable of handling all your brake resurfacing needs, and the machine is supplied with tooling out of the box rather than requiring a separate first tooling purchase.

Tooling: standard package and options

The 401 comes equipped with Hofmann's standard tooling package. That package is specified for resurfacing most passenger cars and light trucks, which is the day-to-day mix in a general repair shop or a tire and brake store. Beyond that, optional tooling is available to handle specialty and heavy-duty applications. If your work includes vehicles outside the passenger car and light truck range, budget for that optional tooling separately and confirm the exact kit contents with the seller before ordering, because the listing names the optional tooling category without itemizing what each kit includes. The standard package is what you receive unless you add options at the time of purchase.

Bench setup and optional accessories

Product photography for the 401 shows the lathe with an optional Work Bench and an optional Tool Board. Both are options, not included items, so the price you pay covers the lathe and its standard tooling package unless you add them. Plan a mounting surface for the machine before delivery. If you do not order the matching Work Bench, you will need an existing bench or stand that can carry the lathe, and a place to store cutting bits, adapters and arbor hardware within reach of the operator. The Tool Board addresses that second point; a shop that already has organized tooling storage near the brake bench may not need it.

What this listing does not specify

Buyers comparing bench lathes usually want motor horsepower, voltage and phase, arbor diameter, maximum rotor diameter and width, cut depth per pass, spindle speeds in RPM, shipping weight and bench footprint. None of those figures appear in the source material for the 401, so we do not publish them here rather than estimate them. Before you order, request the current Hofmann spec sheet for the 401 and confirm the electrical requirement against the circuit at your intended bench location, along with the arbor size so any tooling and adapters you already own will fit. Confirming those two points ahead of delivery avoids the most common installation delays with a bench lathe.

FAQ about this model

What vehicles can the Hofmann 401 resurface out of the box?
The 401 comes with Hofmann's standard tooling package, which is specified to resurface most passenger cars and light trucks. Applications beyond that range call for the optional tooling.

Does the Hofmann 401 come with tooling included?
Yes. The 401 comes equipped with the standard tooling package. Specialty and heavy-duty tooling is offered separately as an option.

Is the work bench included with the 401?
No. The Work Bench shown in the product photo is optional, as is the Tool Board. The listed price covers the lathe with its standard tooling package.

What does dual speed mean on this brake lathe?
The 401 is sold as the True Cut Dual Speed model, meaning it offers two cutting speeds rather than a single fixed speed. The source does not publish the actual RPM figures.

Is the Hofmann 401 a bench lathe or a floor model?
It is a combination bench brake lathe, so it is set up on a bench or on the optional Work Bench in a fixed shop location.

What power does the Hofmann 401 require?
The source material does not state the voltage, phase or motor rating for the 401. Request the current spec sheet before you order so you can confirm the circuit at your bench location.

What is the maximum rotor size the 401 will handle?
Maximum rotor diameter and width are not published in the available source material. Confirm those figures with the seller if you service larger rotors.

Can I use my existing brake lathe adapters on the 401?
The arbor size is not stated in the source material, so it cannot be confirmed here. Ask for the arbor specification before assuming existing adapters will fit.

How much does the Hofmann 401 cost?
The 401 is listed at $7,995 shipped to your address, which covers the lathe with its standard tooling package.
