Here is the reason you donot turn drums anylonger. Chinese drums do not turn and are loaded with hot spots due to poor quality metal used.
Auto part stores no longer invest in the machines to do this unless they already have them from 20 years ago.
Most just buy new drums and throw them away when done. I’ve turned my share of drums and rotors and the new stuff is complete junk. Even with multiple vibration bands they howl and vibrate when being cut. Same with new drums on big trucks. The days of Q to Q+ truck shoes and drums are coming to an end. (Q is a big truck shoe reference.) We need more American steel!
Agreed with keep original drums and rotors and then find a shop who can cut them - many parts stores by my location do not even know what that means let alone a person who can do it.
