There are also drill held hole cutters that have a lathe type cutter on

I have one of these but I would NOT recommend it. Way too hard to
control and dangerous to boot. Use a hole saw instead.

I thought the ones with the rotating arm were intended for use with a
drill press, not for a handheld drill.

There is a lot of torque from that lever arm, and a moment of
inattention could result in serious injury.

A hole saw is far safer with a handheld drill. Make sure you get one
that will work with metal, though, the wood cutting ones only do wood
and some plastics.

Happy trails,
