Should I get these rotors cut?

[CBR.worm]

Oh, wait. I just picked these up from Pep Boys after having them turn them for me. I guess at this point I will go ahead and replace them...After I get my money back.

 

[Lead Shoes]

Looks like an under trained idiot was doing the turning that day, I would get my money back and get new, this is why I don't bother getting them turned...

 

[HTSS_TR]

Look bad. You need new rotors.

 

[Mr Nice]

Avoid Idiot Boys at all costs.

I know a GREAT shop in Riviera Beach that does awesome work if you need an indy shop.

 

[SteveSRT8]

What fine worksmanship. A great inspection program also.

This is why I always caution folks about turning rotors. Between old equipment and poorly trained workers it is hard to get a quality job done. They can also introduce you to new problems caused by their work!

Glad no one was hurt.

Dang thats horrible. New rotors are in order

That's a bold assumption. Who knows what went on in that back room.

hahahaha! Indeed.

From the looks of that finely finished rotor surface there was SOMETHING going on, but it sure weren't no machinin'!

Yeah, they actually looked better when I brought them in. I normally don't get rotors cut, but these were the back rotors, I was switching to a different pad compound and wanted a clean, fresh surface to avoid any contamination.

I already had new fronts, now I have new rears too.

 

[morris]

that is why you have a dotco.

 

[dishdude]

Pep Boys is the pits, and so are those rotors. Time to replace them! Rotors today are so thin new, they pretty much can't be turned.

 

[ls1mike]

I don't even mess around with having rotors turned anymore. Infact the Trans Am are not turnable. I guess the other car are but I just get new. I can't see going that deep to put the old [censored] back on.

 

[HTSS_TR]

I agree with dishdude. Some OEM rotors are so thin, they can't be turned. Front Rotor of the E430: Nominal thickness: 28.0mm, Minimum thickness: 25.4mm. Usable thickness is only 2.6mm, about 1/10".

That horrible job is the result of dull cutting bits, and an operator that's a moron. I'd most definitely go back over there and make them give you a new set of rotors since they have probable butchered those beyond saving.

 

[mechtech2]

I've actually have seen worse.
[But yours are reprehensible.]

Agree. Because of their mistake you need new rotors and they should pay for it.

 

[Donald]

Are you sure they are even your rotors?

 

[chris67]

The lathe was not set-up properly and between dull/loose tool bits and overextended tool arms these rotors vibrated badly during the machining. If there is enough material left they can be re-machined. Somebody needs to measure them. This can be repaired with small amounts of cutting.

 

[another Todd]

If they can be turned correctly and stay in spec, make them re-turn them, otherwise, make them give you new rotors because they ruined yours.
