At what point is turning a rotor not worth it?
I have a fairly new set of slotted rotors that warped at the track last time. Third time to the track on this set with some autocross thrown in for good measure. Originally I thought it was just pad transfer, but I removed cleaned and replaced...still pulsating pedal.
How much is too much to turn? What amount of runout is acceptable to remove?
The rotors are currently right at the 32mm maximum. So, I have some wiggle room.
I realize they may warp again, but I have my $100 PCNA certificate too. I think my next set of rotors will be Porsche parts. I'm not overheating my brakes any more and the aftermarket rotors still warp.

I think as long as you stay within specs for minimum thickness you'll be OK. A good brake shop would know--and I do mean the place that does the actual turning, not a "send out" service with the kid at the register.
