Yeah, resurfacing them is definitely cheaper, but also don't expect them to last as long as they did originally, before showing signs of warping again. But you generally get your money's worth out of the deal since it is usually so cheap to do this. Just remember that you guys who buy slotted or cross drilled discs can't have them resurfaced unless you find a specialist who can do those kinds of rotors, and they are very few and far between. The cutting blade on a normal machine would catch on the slot/hole.

I have never noticed brake pad material build-up, and I am surprised I have never read about it before (at least that I can remember). But warping definitely happens, one way or the other.
