Default Can powerslot rotors be cut?
I have a set that are warped and need to be resurfaced, just wondering if they any different than stock b/c of the slots?

They tell you that you cant, but your really can. If grinding them down is what you mean.

If you can get them resurfaced without going below the recommended thickness and yielding minimal runout, then you should be okay.

I thought I read the slots were machined to the minimum thickness limit. In other words, you can clean them up as long as the slots still show.

Yes you sure can turn them, Its just tears the **** out of your turn inserts in the lathe, but who cares right!

I was thinking the same thing. Even if you turn .001" off, when it come to one of the grooves, it might trip up and mess up the cutting edge.. but if it's not your machine.... have at it.
