I have always believed this, especially with ventilated rotors. If there is
no runout, leave them alone. Smooth, shallow concentric grooves are no reason
to have a disk re-faced. The pads will wear into them just fine.
This may be a boring thread, but boring is the operation used to recondition
brake drums. Facing is the operation for re-doing disks. Turning is on the
outside of a cylindrical part, and few cars (not none) have brakes like this.
Just a little Clavenism from a pedantic former hack machinist to lighten your
day. :-)
