1. To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: Douglas Shook <shook@usc.edu>; Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 11:10:55 -0800; re: cutting rotors I stayed out of this, but feel the need to throw in my 2 cents worth. I think that whether, and how you cut rotors, probably does not have an easy answer. I have a '90 Chev Beretta; /html/shop-talk/2000-02/msg00135.html (10,863 bytes)
2. Re: To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: "Michael D. Porter" <mporter@zianet.com>; Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 13:20:00 -0700; This is quite true, but has more to do with hard spots, rather than high spots. The cutting tool is more likely to deflect at points where the rotor has work-hardened from heat (these areas are somet; /html/shop-talk/2000-02/msg00137.html (10,185 bytes)
3. Re: To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: Douglas Shook <shook@usc.edu>; Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 13:12:21 -0800; Some very astute advice from Michael -- thanks. I guess another reason why I am so inclined to turn the rotors on this particular car is that they are "floating" rotors, separate from the actual hubs; /html/shop-talk/2000-02/msg00140.html (8,193 bytes)
4. Re: To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: "Rex Burkheimer" <rex@txol.net>; Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2000 16:02:43 -0600; This arrangement is normal for FWD vehicles. Some have a couple of retaining screws or other light-duty fastner to keep the loose rotor from falling off when the tire is changed.

5. Re: To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: "B. Vibert" <blur@ican.net>; Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 18:36:08 -0500; I've tried turning rotors in a lathe, it's rarely worth the time and trouble as the results are usually not very good for the reasons Doug mentioned above. If you cut one side and then rechuck it is; /html/shop-talk/2000-02/msg00148.html (9,121 bytes)
6. Re: To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: "Peter J. Thomas" <pjthomas@ntplx.net>; Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 20:55:23 -0500; The replacement rotor I bought was not turned, it was milled. Not being a machinist, common sense (usually wrong) suggests that this would avoid the high spots from hardening. However, the high spots; /html/shop-talk/2000-02/msg00149.html (8,885 bytes)
7. Re: To cut or not to cut (score: 1): Author: "Rex Burkheimer" <rex@txol.net>; Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 08:29:03 -0600; New rotors are milled at the factory, leaving a non-directional finish. "Turned" rotors on a brake lathe end up with the equivalent of a very fine "thread" which should removed with an abrasive disc; /html/shop-talk/2000-02/msg00150.html (9,947 bytes)
