smiths ballymena i think do it' not far from jonnys place
get a circular saw, like the one used to cut metal with a big enough disc on it and run it round face of them. (holding the saw flat so it covers the whole disc in one go).
Thats what i did with the ones i bought, sand down with a file the edges and centre bit, job done.
takes half an hr and saves you a couple o quid.

has anybody started mobile brake disc skimming yet ?
Try @fabiostar - he’s doing a lot of lathe work and the wee deviant shouldn’t be hard paid. He’s on Facebook too as R J Turningthread revival
has anybody started mobile brake disc skimming yet ?
He’s in Greenisland by night, Dundonald direction by day. They’ll need to be off the car though.thanks purplea4T
do you know what town he works from ?
i so miss nz sometimes, mega amount of mobile brake disc skimming vans, done discs on car, off car, also it was only $15 per disc, so like £15 per disc
^^^ thanks purple4T
i, discs are off the car, will give them a wee clean too
£40 a disk seems dear.
@fabiostar will do a superb job and won’t be hard to pay if you haven’t already got him. He’ll de-lip them on his big nasty lathe. He does quite the range of machined parts too!i suppose it depends on the tip used for machining, some are £10-15 each, some are £20 and then some
probably also the disc material too,
me thinks its better to keep the factory discs and machine, than put on cheap ****te, that dont help with stopping lol
mine are factory mazda and have 1.8mm left, only need slight lip taken off, so worth machining etc
have always checked disc thickness and machined if enough meat depending on make of disc etc,
not the norm here though, probably why its more expensive to do here
set up time etc, most are probably using a lathe instead of the disc machine etc
