It is the only way I know to drill neat holes in really thin

You haven't tried a Unibit. It can drill holes in any thickness of
panel you're likely to ever use. Might even work on aluminum foil;
haven't tried it but wouldn't be surprised.


Are these available outside the USA?


There seem to be a number of makers now. G&J Hall, England, make the
Bradrad/Multicut series (available in either metric or fractional-inch
steps) and the Conecut (smooth taper, available in both metric and inch
:-)

Going back to an earlier comment, do think about buying a drill press -
even a cheap import is so much better than a hand-held drill.
