Very well stated. Also, many cars come with bi-metal rotors, which CAN NOT be cut because they will chatter too much on the lathe, as well as the reasons you stated.
solid video but heres my 2 things. 1 honda still recommends turning rotors even still with the upcoming 2025 models. 2. when we turn rotors we use a on car lathe. no more than 1mm is taken off to turn a rotor. sometimes 2mm if there are big heat spots
When we turn rotors the minimum thickness is the first thing we look at, If it’s below specification we discard the rotor. Also unless you’ve never used a lathe before, you’ll never cut down anywhere near 5-6mm. This video is wrong about the functionality and reliability of turning rotors. Although most of the time people will just go with new rotors anyways so there’s that
what the fuck mate you'd have to be machining it for hours to cut 5-6mm, I usually end up 0.1mm below the pre-cut measurement after an on-car machine, although I will give them the option for new rotors if the after-cut thickness is less than 0.5mm above minimum. Maybe it's the case on performance cars not to machine but for regular traffic there's nothing wrong with it.
If someone is taking 5 to 6mm they're overcutting them. It's thousands of an inch likt .005 or .010. Please get it right.

Thanks Dan, your the Man!
Don't try to save money on brakes!!!
Amen
Not to mention you bought a Porsche lmao
