brake discs. My Dad runs a landfill and says they used to get extra money for

MB disks cannot be turned as they will be below the wear limit, and
that will cause a number of problems, including stuck calipers.
They are supposed to be discarded when thin.

Hi Larry,
In my experience, what it costs in labour to turn disks, compared to just
buying new, seldom makes sense anymore. Also, when you turn them, even when

What Peter said is Right on! Use one of them for a base for a

skimmer hat on him. (Good justification for buying a welder, Ja?)
Don't turn them, get new
