I need a good shop who can turn SLOTTED rotors.

Yeah, I know the issues with turning rotors.  I've called 2 shops and they both say "you can't turn slotted rotors" but the manufacturer said (and I quote)  "find a shop with an iq over 100 and they can do it"

they are Powerslot rotors, nothing fancy.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

the problem with turning slotted rotors is the small triangular cutting bits on those machines cut best on a constant contact and the slots interrrupt that process and in fact could upset the micrometer setting when doing so...I used to turn rotors and drums in a shop I worked at a long ass time ago....and the newer "on the car" cutting machines are even more sensitive because grooves and divots in the rotor can move the machine and upset the whole process.
