What is cutting rotors?

Cutting rotors is a machining process used to reshape and restore the surface of brake rotors by removing a thin layer of material. This process is performed to eliminate imperfections, such as warping or scoring, that can affect braking performance. Cutting helps ensure even contact between the brake pads and the rotor, improving braking efficiency and extending the lifespan of both components. It is typically done using a specialized lathe designed for automotive parts.
