The thing is catch your brakes before you are metal to metal so you will always have a smooth surface.
Every time you turn your rotors it makes them thiner & more prone to warping.

Thanks guys, I have never turned the drums on my vws, just cleaned them up and used emery cloth/ 1000 grit sandpaper before putting on new shoes.
I plan on doing the same here unless it is pitted or warped as mentioned previously.
I dont even know of a shop that turns drums around here, it would probably just be cheaper to pick up new drums for $100
