How can brake drums be machined on a drum lathe while preventing taper and surface variation on 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Van?

Brake drums can be machined on a lathe, with initial cuts of 0.12 - 0.20 mm to prevent taper, and final cuts of 0.025 to 0.038 mm for a smooth finish. Secure the drum and use a damper strap to minimize vibration. Replace the drum if machining exceeds its maximum diameter.
