Re: Anyone have slotted rotors? Need info...

["andkat" <forgotit1@home.com>]

When I did mine I found that it would be difficult/impossible to do the
rears with a ballnose em because of clearance issues.  What I found to work
good and quick was a 1/8 wide fullradius wheel cutter 5" in dia.  Only takes
about ten minutes per rotor.  That's using a index head on a manual mill.
