Turning the rotors on a lathe might not solve the shimmey problem. It might work if it is simply a matter of uneven transfer of pad material, but if parts of the rotor have gone through some kind of change in material properties due to overheating, that might go deeper than the surface and removing a tiny bit of material off the surface would not change anything.

This has happened to me twice now. The first time, it went away in a couple of weeks. The second time, things are getting a bit better after a week, but we'll see, which suggests it might be uneven pad material transfer. Would using track pads help?
