Came out great. I didn't know they could cut drilled/slotted rotors. Who can cut them again?

I took them to a semi-truck machine shop/parts shop, he said he doesn't know why other places wont turn them he has no problem doing them, that place is a new candy store I will have to go back to they have some nice commercial led's lights and indicators and tools and cleaners and waxes and all kinds of goodies in there.

I normally just buy new rotors but this a 15" upgrade kit new ones are about $275 each, they are pretty thick and he barely took anything off so if I manage to not warp them they should last me a while and they can be done again if needed.

I suspect it’s a mix of the machine and the operator. I think the right rpm and tool speed would work just fine if you don’t take too much off at a time. I wouldn’t hesitate to turn em if I had a lathe.
