yes they can be machined, they just put them in a lathe and take a cut off the face of the rotor
should cost around $20 each rotor
jim, slotted rotors are damn expensive, about $120 each for cheapies

Agreed its more accurate, faster turnaround and cheaper. Find someone with the on car machine shown above. "I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood" (George Carlin)

Machining over slots is no different, the tool only cuts where there is metal.
I can only imagine that on car machining is more accurate if theres a degree of warping from the pressure applied through the studs into the rotor?
