Default question about slotted brake rotors

is it true that you cannot machine slotted brake rotors because it will brake the cutting bit on the lathe?

cutting slotted rotors is just like cutting regular rotors... exception is, you have to do lighter cuts... you can't do deep cuts... same with cross drilled rotors...

i've done them without doing any damage to my rotor or lathe...
