Turning Brake Drums
I want to get the surface that the magnets ride on turned on my brake drums. Is this something that a shop that turns brake rotors and non-trailer drums can do or do I need to look elsewhere?

Face of drum when magnet rides need only be flat/clean enough to 'attract' magnet and hold it enough to rotate so brakes shoes can engage.
Magnet only move 3-4" and then 'slides' on face of drum as it rotates.
Few places have the set up on their brake lathes to machine that inner surface for magnets.
I usually just use crocus cloth or emery cloth and hand sand that inner surface to clean it up
