Hey, Bernd!
You should be able to take them to anyone with a decent brake lathe set-up
who uses a good quality (i.e Kennametal) carbide insert. The interrupted cut
will not cause undue fracturing of the carbide if the operator/machinist has
his feeds, speeds & depth of cut right. If you are told at an auto supply or
brake shop they can't do the rotors because of the holes/slots, they don't
know what they're talking about, or they're still using High Speed Steel
(HSS) cutting tools... find a good machine shop where somebody knows how to
cut metal & they'll tighten you up. HTH,
