How Can Brake Drum Machining on a Drum Lathe Avoid Taper and Surface Variation on 2001 Dodge Ram 1500?

Brake drums may be turned in a lathe, and the initial cuts are restricted to 0.12 - 0.20 mm to avoid taper, and the final cuts to 0.025 to 0.038 mm to a smooth finish. Firmly screw the drum and apply a damper strap to eliminate vibration. Change the drum when machining is more than the maximum diameter.
