Is it safe to turn slotted/dimpled rotors?
My rotors are getting a bit shiney and I can't really afford to spend $150 on new ones. Will getting them turned for ~$20 at a shop tear them up?

i dont believe you can have them cut, becuase on the cutting disk is a small tooth that etches the disk back to a smooth surface, that would just get caught in the slots and either break the machine or crack the disk, sorry to say but your gonna have to buy new ones.

Re: Is it safe to turn slotted/dimpled rotors?
Yeah I know how the machine works that's why I was asking. I talked to a guy with a set on his mitsu and he did it w/out problems. I'm sure the tooth would have to cut in a lot slower though..

Ya you can cut them but not all brake lathes/cutting heads are capable of it.
