you sure can. But you would have to take it to a machine shop to do this. Most regular brake shop don't have the tools to do so.

Yes you can. Even our local Lexus dealer in Charlotte can turn slotted & drilled rotors - they invest in a lot of good machinery though.

yes you can. I used to work at a parts store and I would turn my own cross drilled rotors. Im not sure if it was a special machine or just your basic brake lathe, but I was able to do it no problem.
