Keith,
I didn't even try to have my rotors turned.  The cost of new ones seemed
reasonable.  What I didn't expect was to have to buy the drill press to
remove the rusted bolts joining the rotor to the hub!  Only one of the eight
bolts holding them together could be removed normally, and that was after a
week of soaking in PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, and Busty, plus heat with a
torch (oxy/mapp).
Luckily, found that lbcarco had rotors in stock.
I have no affiliation with lbcarco other than Jeff is a fellow local club
member, and as most of you know I have assisted in some of his numerous
roadside repairs.8*)

Safety Fast!
