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

does a good job..

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 have used one of these to cut a hole in an aluminum panel. The panel
was clamped to a piece of pine and the table on my drill press. The drill
press was set to the lowest possible speed and the chuck was lowered slowly.
Took a while to cut and the cutter did get stuck a few times requiring
me to raise
the chuck and clear the problem. Did cut a nice hole, but required a
chissel
to break out the center and a file to clean up afterwards.
