Default Drilling/cutting a 30 mm hole in 0.8 mm aluminium

I have various hole cutting devices such as Forstner bits but they are for
wood.

Is there anything clever for cutting holes in metal sheets?

If you haven't got a (Qmax) hole punch or hole saw then something like

aluminium I would use a wooden block to reinforce the pilot hole area to
stop the pilot drill from waggling around
