Turning slotted rotors ?

    I had some super aggressive pads, I think some form of Hawk's on my STi...well I swapped them with a new set of EBC green's and I still have some squeling....

    I think my rotors, which I believe are power slot, are perhaps a little glazed over... can I have my mechanic turn them or can you not turn slotted rotors ?

    Thanks for the help.... Rut

    Actually you can, the tech just needs to be cautious as to how much the cutter bites into the rotor. I've had a set done before on the Civic. It was a Mercedes dealership my friend used to work at.

    I don't know anything about rotors, but could you lightly sand them to get the glaze off?

    i can turn any rotor you want.

    If someone says that you cannot turn slotted and/or cross drilled rotors...they are being lazy. Its no different than turning solids.

    Ok not to jack the thread, but I am, lol. I had some new rotors (brembo slotted) and pads put on the rear of my lil wrx due to a bad squeeling that only seems to happen when it starts getting hot from highway speeds or long periods of driving. It has not even been 4k miles and it has started again. Weird part is it is not when I am ON the brakes, but when they are not even pressed down. Hitting the brakes stops the squeel and then it starts again when I am back off of them. Anyone have any ideas?

    is there an alternate way other than turning on a lathe ?
    I was thinking maybe a fixture on a grinding wheel (not the kind you can buy at sears). I have a precision grinding table (magnetic) at work that hold tolerance within 0.0005

    Dude, a lathe is best. Like I have said...I have had ZERO problem turning anything from solids to slotted/drilled and slotted WITH drilled.
