Minimum disc brake/rotor thickness

You speak of Volvo in general, or all in general? I've been using softer pads that produce more dust, but aren't as rough on rotors, on my Suburban. My average replacement ratio is after the 3rd set of pads, new rotors next time.

If there is enough "meat" on them why not turn them? The pads wear them down with the same thinning effect... Sure, the manufacturers don't recommend it, I wonder why? Especially in the sclerotic US driving conditions, makes perfectly good sense to turn a quality rotor for $12 than to put a new low quality one for $50. The thickness is stamped on the rotor and as long as it is not below the minimum, it's perfectly fine! I wouldn't turn them routinely at every pad change, only in case of warpage (pulsating brake pedal).
