Does he have specs of other rotors being drilled, I know there was a special pattern to the outer ones so as the wouldnt crack out to the edge. What all kind of machining can he do, he could make some decent profit if he could make bolt pattern adapters and so on. CP makes some stuff but they seem quite steep on prices anymore and plus shipping from canada.. well thats my thoughts

as for the holes, to keep it from cracking, im trusting his knowlege to place the outer holes well, hes damn good at machining so i have confidence
only catch is that the insrtuctor wants 25$ a rotor to cover machine wear
when he graduates well see about more things as he is wanting to get into cars more
im getting a rotor with a stripped lug hole for him to test, ill keep you updated

Also If drilling really helps from warping/keep cool on stock rotors, I dont think thats too bad a price. depends on shipping too.

drilling is mostly to help with brake fade

yeah, slotting would be a lot more to program than drilling a bunch of holes and would probably take a lot longer (more tool wear). I would pay $100 to get them sloted and drilled, but a brake upgrade is the last thing on my mind right now
