Default installing new front hub

Next weekend I will be installing the new front hubs , bearings ,rotors and brakes.

My main question is after the bearing are packed and installed with the rotor on, does the new disc need to machined to the flush?

All the parts are new, only the axle stub is original.

Also about to look through youtube, anyone recommend a video on whole process?

Thanks.

There is a procedure for checking rotor face runout with DRY bearings installed. I don't remember the YouTube site.
