Getting Slotted Rotors turned
Hey everyone. I recently purchased a set of DBA 4000 rotors, and would like to get them turned. Anyone know a good cheap place that turn them? I called pepboys and they said they won't turn slotted rotors. Let me know. live in Fremont, work in milpitas. Thanks in advance!

it was my understanding that you could not turn those style of rotors... but I'm probably wrong.

Most places wont do it because its easy to break the bits. The places that do are not cheap. I had my dba rotors done in watsonville. Just call around. Think I paid around 80 or 90 bucks.

You can't lathe turn slotted rotors.
Any competent machine shop that grinds flywheels can help you out.

BTW, why would you want to turn rotors anyway?

I had mine turned because they grooved but had plenty of meat.
