Back when just about every vehicle ran drum brakes, the rule of thumb for machining passenger car drums was .060" max, and most light and medium-duty trucks had a .090" max oversize. Those 14" drums are virtually impossible to find new, and good used ones are almost as scarce. Don't machine them any more than absolutely necessary. If there's a deep groove, leave it and just clean up the main drum surface area.
