Typically they are not safe after having been turned several times as the wall gets too thin to properly dissipate heat. There was so specific rating for Packard drums but the rule of thumb is .060” so if 11” drums measure 11.060” or larger, they need to be replaced. I’m sure one could go a little larger without a problem but many shops won’t turn them larger.
