WRC28 Wheel CNC Lathe Machine — professional horizontal-spindle CNC lathe for alloy wheel diamond-cut refurbishment
The WRC28 is a horizontal-spindle CNC wheel repair lathe for professional diamond-cut refurbishment of alloy wheels up to 28 inches. Built on a solid cast iron base with a 7.5 kW main motor, it delivers the rigidity and thermal stability that accurate surface machining requires — no flex, no vibration-induced chatter, consistent finish across the full face of the wheel. Automatic spindle speed control adjusts cutting parameters on the fly, reducing cycle time without requiring operator intervention between passes.
The machine ships with a ruby digital probe, Taiwan new-generation CNC system, and dedicated hub curve optimisation software. The 3-jaw manual chuck with special soft jaws (12 inch) centres and clamps alloy wheels securely without marking the barrel. Standard configuration includes diamond tool holder, 4-station quick-change tool post, automatic lubrication, cooling system and full safety protection door — everything needed to run a DC refurbishment operation from day one.
- Whole cast iron base — rigid, stable foundation for consistent cut quality
- 7.5 kW motor with automatic spindle speed control — faster cycle times, less operator adjustment
- Ruby digital probe + hub curve optimisation software — accurate wheel profiling without manual measurement
- 28″ maximum wheel size — covers the full mainstream passenger car and SUV fitment range
- Full protection safety door — operator safety and coolant containment

How the WRC28 machines a wheel
The wheel is mounted on the horizontal spindle and clamped with the 3-jaw chuck using soft jaws matched to the wheel bore. The ruby probe measures the wheel surface profile and feeds the data to the hub curve optimisation software. Roughing and finishing passes run automatically; the cooling system manages heat throughout.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Mount | Wheel clamped on 12″ 3-jaw chuck with soft jaws; centred and secured |
| 2. Probe | Ruby digital probe measures the wheel surface; data loaded into hub optimisation software |
| 3. Rough cut | Carbide insert removes damaged surface, corrosion and old lacquer; cooling system active |
| 4. Diamond finish | Diamond tool holder makes the final pass; bright-machined DC surface produced |
| 5. Unload & lacquer | Wheel moves to spray booth for clear lacquer protection (separate equipment) |
Who the WRC28 is built for
Professional wheel refurbishment workshops processing mainstream vehicle wheels — the WRC28 covers 14–28″ alloy wheels: the full range of passenger car, crossover and standard SUV fitments that make up the bulk of daily refurbishment volume in most markets. The automatic spindle speed control and hub optimisation software keep cycle times short without constant operator adjustment.
Shops looking for a cost-effective entry point into CNC diamond-cut — the WRC28 delivers professional DC results with a lower initial investment than the vertical WRC28VM, while sharing the same 7.5 kW motor class and cast iron base construction. It is suitable as a first CNC lathe for a growing rim repair business.
Automotive bodyshops and used-car preparation centres — the automatic spindle control and simple operation (learnable within an hour, per machine documentation) allow non-specialist technicians to produce consistent DC results as part of a broader vehicle turnaround workflow.
