To turn, or not to turn?

[Bernie Benz]

IMO, don't turn rotors unless you wish to lighten and shorten their life.
But the parts people love it!   Further, don't worry about any wear ridge
either side of the active surface, as it will become the natural pad wear
"squeeler" when it hits the backing plate.  No need for wear sensors!
