My personal policy is to NEVER "turn" a brake disk
Fine toss away perfectly good parts..

I'm serious- this is the biggest scam in automobiledom. They use a form of lathe to thin your brake disks down a tiny amount, the reason being that they want to make it "straight"
So if the disk is machined down a "tiny" amount and is still within spec, that would be a bad thing?

You can find the wear limits for a brake disc cast or stamped on it somewhere...

Blanchard grinding is a preferred way to refinish disks..
