Default Re: Oversized Brake Drums

I’m stuck on the application of a .060 limit to every drum ever made....
How thick are your brake drums after turning?
What is your experience?

Quote from another........
“Most drums are cast with enough thickness to allow 0.090" of wear. In other words, the difference between a drum's diameter when new and its discard diameter is 0.090," but that doesn't mean you can machine a drum right up to the 0.090" limit.
