From my experience, the problem seems to be with who does the cleaning up.  I
recently had a pair of rotors cut at an Autozone.  Since this store opened
less than a year ago, I figured they must have a new brake lathe with which
to do a workmanlike job.  When I measured the cut rotors, I found them to be
tapered .008" across the width of the pad sweep area and so, obviously,
unusable.  How this can be done with any brake lathe I have ever seen escapes
me.

If it had not been a Saturday, I would have taken them to the oldest brake
shop in town called City Brake, no less.  This shop has been around so long
that they even know what you mean when you ask them to radius the shoes to
match the drums.  The rotors they have done for me always measure right on
the nuts and, more importantly, they do not pulsate.

But all this talk of cutting rotors may be moot.  The cost of them has come
down so much that it is becoming hard to justify resurfacing them.  I have
been getting Brembo rotors from a local shop at $40 each for a Syncro and $30
each for a Volvo.

You pays your money and you takes your choice.
