Am I reading this all wrong? If the limit is .787 that means anything thinner
than that (like .750) is junk... So if you had .800 you could turn down as far
as .787...
The big question is not how thick the old ones are but how thick the NEW ones
are. I'm given to understand the last decade or so has brought in real crap for
brake discs. My Dad runs a landfill and says they used to get extra money for
brake discs but now they don't.

Hi Gang,
I replaced my front discs a while back with a set of discs and calipers
I bought from a fellow lister (got a great deal on a complete set of
calipers and discs, and pads from a 95 300D) - the old ones I removed are
approx. .750" and the limit according to the book is .787" (20mm) - but I
have not frane of reference of how much is normally removed when discs are
turned. I know it depends on the depth of any scoring but that's it.
If minimal metal needs to come off, would the .037" be enough to clean
up a typical disc? Plus, I wouldn't want the discs to be turned to .750"
and have 0 metal left as wear material.
I'm probably not framing this question very well - basically, I am
wondering if it's worthwhile to have a shop mess with trying to clean these
up? Does any of this makes sense?
BTW, the ones I bought have performed flawlessly! ;-)
Any ideas?
Thx
Larry
