Can the front brake rotors be turned or are they to thin?
I have a pulsing feel when I apply the brakes.
thanks Gary

They can be machined if they are not worn too thin. There is a minimum allowable thickness cast into the rotor. (*1. see information below)
But due to the lower cost now days of new rotors, most believe it is more cost efficient to just purchase new rotors and not have to go to all the trouble of machining old rotors.

Engraved on the side of your rotor you can find the minimum operational thickness. To accurately measure against the minimum thickness use a micrometer at the thinnest point on the surface of the rotor where it meets the pads. If your rotor needs to be cut or has worn passed this thickness, you'll need new rotors.
Consequently, what is the minimum thickness of a rotor?
All brake discs or rotors have markings for MINIMUM allowable thickness cast on an unmachined surface or an alternate surface.
The rotor's minimum thickness tells you the minimum operational level of your rotor. This level can be found engraved on the sides of the rotor, within the veins of the rotor, or on the hat of the rotor.
