Default Dual drill bit?

We substituted a plasma cutter head on a robot welding arm to do
production run quantities of 3/8" aluminum plate cones intersecting with
4" schedule 40 aluminum pipe. That was a nasty set of angles! But it
sure was nice to let the welders ask for a little bit more or less bevel
in a specific spot, tell the robot operator, done deed.

I want to drill a piece of 3"IPS (3.5"OD) Sch. 80 wall steel pipe so
that a 2"IPS (2.375"OD) pipe can go through it and also have the hole
beveled for welding, is there such a drill available for purchase.

Plasma cutter and a template.
