I would think any machine tool supply you could buy a 1/2 90 deg countersink and use it in a drill press, that way you could set up a stop or with a hand drill. I have bought several items from Enco, pretty reasonable prices.

I could be wrong, but I swore you are not supposed to resurface drilled rotors.
