There's nothing wrong with drilling your own rotors, these other guys are just warning you off because they are pansies and don't want to use a drill and countersink.

How do you think they get those holes in them in the first place? They weren't formed there from a mold, a machine drilled them out. It's just cast iron we're talking about here.

They also have super nice equipment and do it on a regular basis.

LOL.

:D2

Why would they need to be heat treated? They'll get plenty of heat treating when you apply the brake pedal.

I'd find a spare set and try it. Take your time and follow that like you posted above.

You don't need to heat treat them. You can send them off to be cryo-treated though.

Slow down before descending.

Have you ever really seen somebody perform this "mod"?

First I have seen.

If I sent all 4 of my rotors to a competent machinist, and had him perform this, I honestly don't think I would see a difference at the bottom of one of our monster mountains, even fully loaded.

His mountain is downhill in every direction.
