Re: [ST] Warped rotors

[Lex Offer <reffoxel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually there is a reason why a repaired disc is more likely to warp again than a new one.  When the disc becomes warped the thickness become very slightly non-uniform.  Then when straighten, micro-fractures are created which will cause hot spots when the disc heats up during braking.
Unless he reheats the disc to almost molten then straightens it, then retempers it, the disc will not perform the same as new.
