A couple of grooves in a drum with most of it smooth and round will not cause major problems. The old style riveted-on brake linings used to cause a couple of deep grooves where the rivets started contacting the drums without causing other problems. I've turned many drums mostly smooth while leaving a groove or two. No problems with those drums. Jerry
