Really, I don't turn 'em at all. They're, what, $20? Just put new ones on if you need 'em.

25 years ago I'd of had them turned if they weren't smooth to the touch. And I'd lay a straight edge across them looking for warping. But any more every time I've taken a set in to have them turned the shop either wants as much or more then new ones or they say there too far gone to be turned. So, yeah I just buy new.

Last set I bought was for a 97' Ford F-150 and I think I paid about $90 for the set at the local Napa store.
