How Can Brake Drums Be Machined to Ensure Optimal Surface Finish and Prevent Taper on 2007 Dodge Dakota?

The brake drums can be machined on a lathe with initial cuts leaving 0.12 -0.20 mm (to avoid taper). The good finish is achieved with final cuts of 0.025-0.038 mm. Bolt the drum down and strap-on a damper. Change the drum when machining is beyond the maximum diameter.
