Hey, I got my warped rotors turned! The auto tech instructor at the college where I work let me watch while the first one was running. You could see by looking at where the cutters were taking material off the disk that it was warped. By warped I mean the places the cutter was removing material on one side was the opposite of where the cutter on the other side was removing material. By opposite I mean around the circumference of the disk. Like at 12 o'clock vs 6 o'clock. The article linked earlier seemed to indicate this was very very rare. Or did I not read that right?
