turning a roter

i worped a roter this past weekend, was racing someone, stoplight feaver due to the nice weather here, and had to break kinda fast and hit a puddle, now my roters need turned, i know its warped, has happend in other vehicals b4, question is more a need for knowlage, is turning a roter just basicly resurfacing it? if it is, i have access to a micro grinder (measures 1/10 of .001) could i use this to turn it myselfe or is it something best left to the pros at napa?

Sorry dmbrisket, best left for the pro's. They have to be perfect or you'll have problems.

There's a good thread a few down on how to remove a rotor.

Look into the cost of new rotors. They might be a few bux more than the machine bill. And yours could have been on the thin side resulting in it warping easily

Dude, I took mine off and Orileys turned mine for 8 to 10 bucks a piece. Hope that helps ya.

lol overboard, your just helping me look for a reason to get the big break set with the drilled and cross sloted 4 wheel disks arnt ya? that also means my stock rims wont fit, time for the 18's... g, this could be more expencive then i thought.... if its only 10 bucks ill just get them turned, taken things apart isnt something i need help with, its the extra parts i will get sometimes (very rarely anymore accually) that i need help placing back, but if you guys think turning is a machin shops job, i guess ill let the machine shop do it. Does anyone know what kind of machine they use to do it on? a lathe or a mill?

is a lathe.....funny story to go with that one, know a guy who was working in a shop, and a customer needed a flywheel re-surfaced...so he used the brake lathe....needless to say, he could either replace it, or find a new job...lol

^lmao, reasons why right tooling is a must, especally if im (as a customer) paying for it

I think that it's a special lathe that they use but I'm not sure.

Where I live it's around $30.00 canadian to turn rotors, and you can often buy a rotor for $35 so that's why I sugested looking into the cost of new ones.

When I was young I used to cross drill my own rotors and it worked really good. I was lucky and had access to drill presses and a friend that could turn the brakes back then

i have access to a lathe (cant guarentee its accuracy anymore, it is a machine used on wwII ships) and a mill drill, i thought about driling and slotting myselfe, but the big ones give me reasoning for a while line of new products ie rubber, rims, while im at it, suspenion body kit (have it, need to finish installing it, i have airdamn on only)
