When a SRT is due for new brake pads, can the slotted rotors be cut? If not, do you leave them alone or buy new ones?

by what i know you can only turn the rotors a single time before they need replacement. i might be wrong on this but im pretty sure they are only turnable a single time,
It all depends on the thickness of the rotors, there is a minimum thickness and if turning them gets below that that then they are no good.A lot of shops moved away from turning because rotors have gotten cheap, $25.00 for some. Also the thinner they are the more prone to warping and unhappy customers.

Yeah we had a lathe in the auto shop at high school and we'd measure how thick they were and if there was enough meat on them they'd go on the lathe. The price of rotors was definitely much higher now you can find cheep replacement rotors for probably less than it would cost to turn the rotors in most cases.
