Roger that ... that would also be the best way. Have them machine the axles to fit the rotor ... and then have them take an extra .025 -.050" off both diamters in case you ever have to replace the rotor. Considering the rotors are cast, those same surfaces on one rotor may vary with the next rotor.

Easier to take a little extra off the axles now, as opposed to having to disassemble the rear-end when the time comes to replace the rotors.

I would ask the machinist to do this in a lathe. This way, both diameters will be concentric (run true) to one another as they will both be machined at the same time.
