anyone ever had brake disks skimmed?

needing my project bikes brakes tidied up as there is plenty of life in them, rear not even been used, but due to sitting have became a wee bitty rusty

dont want to get the grit blasted cos it'll make a rought surface finish so was looking at getting them skimmed but have heard a few horror stories like disks warping ect

anyone got any advice/stories/experience ?

Sorry no dice. The official wear limit on those disks will be maybe 1mm.

If their marked or scored their fkd simple. You could maybe vapour bkast the carrier but even that my affect the bobbins.

At the end of the day they are a life or death item. Don't take chances.

it would have been purely for cosmetic reasons, but i managed to clean them up with a wire wheel drill bit :)

They will just clean themselves when you use them, they will be ok after a few miles. Unless they are FUBAR.
