A brake rotor for the braking system of a vehicle is provided with a plurality of slots machined into the brake plate of a vented or solid brake rotor. The slots have a circular cross section, and are limited to depth corresponding to the wear limit of the rotor. The slots may be oriented in a wide variety of configurations, and preferably are curved and distributed over the rotor surfaces so as not to overlap transaxially between the inboard and outboard brake plates. The slots facilitate the cleaning of the braking pads as well as provide indication of rotor wear.
