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?

I turn my own drums and armature faces. If you can find a shop to face your armatures, be sure that they can get a very smooth surface. If that surface does not have a good finish, the magnet will start to chew into it and will quickly develop grooves. See Dexters information: Dexter
If you get new drums, the magnets need to be resurfaced or replaced. New drums may have quite a bit of run out. I made mine much better than new.
