Is it possible to turn slotted rotors? Or would the bit get caught in the slot and gouge or break?

I never heard anyone cutting other than smooth rotors.Is it possible to turn slotted rotors? Or would the bit get caught in the slot and gouge or break?

Heat checking, and I'm not all that surprised that it could happen that quickly. From an engineering forum,Believe I only have 5 track days on those... New one's are on order, trying to make the last track day of the year at BIR Oct 5th....
The common guideline is that as long as you can't catch your fingernail in any of the lines, the rotor still has usable life left. But you're on notice to inspect and recheck on a much tighter schedule.Jun 23, 2005 · ... heat checking is also known as thermal fatigue crack propagation. Tensile stresses generated by exposure to temperature transients (with a delta T as low as 300 deg F) can generate low cycle, thermal fatigue damage, as well. The appearance is similar to a checker board pattern of surface cracks.
Have not been driving on the street with them other than to and from the track, but it was a 300 mile drive each way...Yes I'm checking my rotors regularly lol.
On JJ's pic, looks like driving on the street with "track Only" pads.
