Warped hub?

Hi
Replaced brake discs about 5 months ago. The old ones were welded on tight, no amount of hammering would remove so I used an angle grinder to encourage them by cutting them off.
I was a little too zelealous and manged to cut the hub slightly as I did this. Only a little though. I fitted the new (cheap) discs and carried on.

Now, 5 months later, I have a lot of brake judder. Could this be the hub warped or just the result of using cheap discs? I am going to use better discs this time, but don't want to just fit to a warped hub and have the discs just warp again?

Any advice?

Thats what I'm hoping. They were cheap crap discs off ebay. Just concerned its the hub because I nicked it with grinder?

Just make sure the nick in the hub is filed completely flat/ flush with the hub, if the rough edges of the cut where sitting slightly proud of the hub then the disk wont sit perfectly flat and that would give some disc run out and brake judder.
