Most autoparts stores have a machine shop associated with them, who can grind/turn rotors. Doing it right requires a precision machine, and nothing you can get for home use will be as good as a professional machine shop tool.
I'm sure you can get something cheap, but it'll be cheap, and won't do a good job. A pro turning tool will probably cost a few thousand bucks. Do you expect to turn that many rotors?
I don't turn rotors on every pad replacement - I only turn them if they're badly grooved. And if they're that badly grooved, chances are they're under limit for turning. So in the few cases where I've needed to turn rotors, I just follow John's advice and buy a fresh set.
