Question rear brake drums minimum thickness?

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering what the max. id would be for the rear drums to not be able to be re-turned on a lathe? I have been to 2 shops here one said they were over by 0.090 and the other said they were at max but neither would tell me exactly what the measurements were, very suspicious salesman to me.

Thanks and Seasons Greetings to all.

The max diameter is usually cast into an outer lip on the front face of the drum.
