Can these rotors be machined/cut down?

 

Im pretty sure they are turnable just like solid ones, the process just takes off 1000ths of the outer layer to assure its smooth. but maybe try a search?

 

No problems,i have done it many times with my cars.

Just need to take light passes and the lathe will thank you for it.

(As long as there is rotor thickness to remove,all is good!)

you cut them like any other rotor, nothing special

 

The place i usually get my car worked on wouldnt turn my rotors once i got crossdrilled ones....But they are turnable, just have to go to the right place

 

I asked this question some time ago, and was told the drilled holes and slots would need to be rechamfered after the rotors were turned. That didn't make it sound like a worthwhile investment....I figured just buying new rotors would be more practical. But if several of you have had it done without any issues, then it must be ok to do.

this is true, you should not cut/turn slotted or cross dilled rotors. most slotted rotors are slotted to the thiness thickness anyway.

 

They can be machined just like reg. rotors as long as they are within spec. However, they need to be rechamfered or they will form stress cracks at the sharp edges around the holes...

An exploding brake rotor is not good on wheels..
