Some brake shops will and others won't. Reason is the way the cutters are angled. The fear is that the cutter will catch. Also keep in mind that a set of "blank" rotors may cost about the same as turning what you now have.

I don’t know if it’s so much a problem that the cutter will catch, at least I don’t see that being the problem. I think it has to do with that inserts they use to cut the rotors do not like interrupted cuts and it plays hell on the cutter tip.
