I need to cut a 30 mm hole in some 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
this will do the job

. In thin
aluminium I would use a wooden block to reinforce the pilot hole area to
stop the pilot drill from waggling around
I have used this type before, as you imply they don't have much precision!
Step drill, of course, is another method for producing a 30m hole.
