Default normal rotors vs drilled/slotted rotors

hi
basic normal rotors after some time of use they need to be turned (rotor turning) , can the driller/slotted rotors be turned ?
if yes : dose it need a special machine to do this or the same machine used for normal rotors ?
if no they can`t be turned : would that makes the life of the drilled/slotted rotors shorter than the basic one`s ? or they don`t need to ever ?

and whats better : (longer life,less break pad fade and stopping)
drilled
slotted
drilled/slotted

thank you

^^ Almost everything can be turned...if not, then you turn around it.

thank you all ,
i did alot of reading in the net almost every one is saying that the drilled & slotted can`t/should not be turned, and if they did it they will lose the efficiency.

now, i can`t fined dealers who sale blank brembo breaks ???? is that possible

you can only turn blank or slotted

also there is no performance enhancement if you get blanks, slotted or drilled and slotted, it is just looks

will ...... i thought it was for the looks but alot of writings says other wise :
you can read from "Rotor technology" in this site
http://www.carbibles.com/brake_bible.html

p.s: i don`t care much about this though but i just want to show the performance enhancement
