If I am reading this right you have turned the rotors 5 times?? Usually they will take of about 40 thousanths each time they are turned if they are warped or grooved real bad. This means you can only get usually 2 turns at the most before the rotor is below minimum and needs to be replaced.
Also, make sure all the lug nuts are torqued to the exact same ft-lb. Since the wheel holds the rotor onto the hub assembly if one lug nut is tighter than another the rotor may not be square on the hub causing some vibration when breaking.

When I turn rotors, I usually do a very light base cut outside to inside and take off both lips and judge how warped they are. If it isn't too bad, I take 3-5 thousandths off each side (6-10 total) and then go from there. I rarely have to take off more than 10 off each side unless the rotor is very bad.
I've been turning rotors and drums pretty frequently for over 2 years.

Deaf doesn't mean dumb. I know this has been brought up at least 5 times in all of his different threads. If he reads our posts on this board as much as I think he does, then he should understand how to communicate and use proper grammar... It's really hard to help someone when you can't understand what the hell they're saying.

Like I say 5 times turning the rotors equal 4 yrs old. I bought past in 2006 truck. Now its 2010 it would be 4 yrs old on my truck with SAME rotors I had right now. Been turning the rotors long time ago. Now I need new brake pad time to replace. Since it getting worn out and the rotors start a little warp blue SPOT on it. I turn the rotors. It look so clean and shine as silver something like fresh one. It does smooth till about 2 hours it started get a little shake not as bad. When you drive and brake get hot touch the rotors while you brake it. Do you know what I mean?
