Default Disc Rotor Refurb?

A new 6" rotor is only about twenty bucks, but I've accumulated a

Tried boiling in water for awhile on the latest one, but no
change.

I thought sand blasting for a moment, and then it seemed like
that would be asking for irregularities in thickness.

Anybody got a tried-and-true method of refurbishing a rotor that
doesn't require a machine shop?


For $50 each plus shipping, I can make them work like new.

Seriously, it would be interesting to see exactly what the problem is.

To make sure they're not warped, you would need....... a machine shop.

You coat one side with dye (or just draw a grid on it with a permanent
marker) and then scoot it around gently on a granite flat, and any
"high" spots will have the marking ink rubbed off before everywhere else.
