Chuck,
        Yes, I agree 100%. I took my drums and rotors to an automotive machine
shop and I told the operator that I want just a slight cut off the drums
to clean up the rust pits, some small grooves, but don't hog it off. He
understood and agreed with me and did a wonderful job. I talked to Doug
Jennings about minimum/maximum specs and he said the rotors can be
resurfaced many times, but didn't give any actual dimensions.
