Can you turn Power Stop rotors?
Can Power Stop rotors be turned down? Power Stop does not recommend turning down the rotors. However, drilled or slotted rotors can be machined using a sharp bit and very light cuts (to prevent bit skipping near the holes).
What’s the minimum rotor thickness for a Mercedes 500?
I took my 2005 ML 500 to a very honest and professional brake specialist on race and import cars, he laughed at me when I mentioned that the ML rotors should not be turned and that Mercedes recommended changing them. He turned my rear rotors to an impecable finish and still the rotors were way over the minimum thickness.
What’s the minimum thickness for a disc brake?
Disc Brake Rotor Minimum Thickness (also known as Scrap Thickness) is the minimum safe working thickness of a rotor at which it must be replaced. Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters.
Where do you find the minimum operational thickness of rotors?
Engraved on the side of your rotor you can find the minimum operational thickness, within the veins of the rotor, or on the hat of the rotor. To accurately measure against the minimum thickness use a micrometer at the thinnest point on the surface of the rotor where it meets the pads.
When do I need to replace my brake rotors?
… rotors should be replaced before their thickness has reached the prescribed “Worn Rotor Minimum Thickness” limit (expressed in millimeters) engraved on the edge of the brake disc. Plain brake rotors may be turned on a brake lathe to remove scoring and to true the disc surfaces until this minimum … …stops.

How big is a Mercedes Benz brake pad?
Well, I tooked it to a brake place and they told me there were still fine, and they lasted another 15,000 miles before the pad wear light turned on. Brake pads have around 10 mm of pad thickness and the brake pad light turns on around 2 mm of pad material left.
