How can brake drums be machined on a drum lathe while preventing taper and surface variation on 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Van?

Brake drums can be machined on a lathe, in which initial cuts are restricted to values between 0.12 - 0.20 mm to avoid taper. Final cuts ranging from 0.025 to 0.038 mm provide the best finish. Securely mount the drum and use a damper strap to prevent vibration. Replace the drum if machining is beyond the maximum diameter.
