Drilling new rotor holes for Scarebird

I am considering staying with my sbp and converting to front disks and am looking at the Scarebird system. I see where folks have drilled the rotors for the sbp for the Scarebird brake conversions, but I have not heard how they are doing it, other than a few have taken theirs to a machine shop. On the Scarebird website they say they give you a paper template to do your own drilling. I have access to a floor drill press, but still think my drilling accuracy would be marginal and the bolt circle would not be perfectly centered. Somehow this seems like it could cause vibration problems?

Would your basic auto machine shop have some more accurate tooling or templates to do a better job?

I'd take it to a machine shop. I had my hub changes from the SBP to the BBP due to the fact that I could then just swap out rotors if I ever needed to without redrilling the rotors for SBP. The cost should be similar. I paid 35.00 to get both hubs drilled out to BBP. BUT the pattern he gives you is accurate and the holes should be a little oversized since the centering ring adapter he give you in the kit makes the rotor a centered on hub fit, that way if your off a little bit the hub will recenter the rotor.
