Hello, When you say turn, do you mean to Lathe the surface back Flat? It depends on the condition of the disc surface, if the surface is badly grooved, yes, you should have the discs re-surfaced flat so that your brakes work to their best ability. If the surface is not too bad, you can get away with it, only if you are a steady driver. Regards, Peter.
