Changed the brake drums and pads today. I sharpened the pads where they rest against the spline of the working cylinder piston. One hell of a drum fit. Especially the right one. And today I traveled. When braking it drifts too far to the right. Well, this is nonsense, if you rub it in, I’ll adjust it. But it gets terribly hot. Although I drove the car and braked sharply to sharpen it, the right drum still gets very hot on the way, the hub is already hot, but you can’t touch the drum.
in general, what to do? Should I continue driving until it wears off, or should I disassemble and sand the pads? Isn't such intense heat dangerous?

Why the hell did you grind off the pads? There is nothing good about high heat. Check if you did everything correctly (support pins, eccentrics, cylinders.) If everything is in place correctly, then grind off the linings.
I did everything right, not the first time.
If I hadn’t sharpened the pads, it wouldn’t have fit, or I would have had to grind the pads down by half. This is the quality of products today. What’s interesting is that everything was OK on the rear axle - I didn’t sharpen anything, but the front axle was very tight
