Many thanks for the info. I have sent two different sets of front drums to two different local shops to cut. One pair has a soft pulse, and the other a rather violent machine gun like shudder. When adjusting the shoes I cannot get a nice swish, but rather a grab and release, as I would expect with an out of round drum.
In both sets I left the bearing races in the drums as you guys indicate. Just searching for reasons why I can't seem to get at least one set round.
Neither set has been cut beyond spec. So, I am just searching for an answer. Thanks again, you guys are great.
