Default Drilling a hole in plywood

Is there a knack for drilling a hole in plywood or am I using the wrong
type of drill. I need an 8mm dia hole and I am using progressively
larger HSS twist drills but the exit hole is ripping the final ply to
shreds.
Should I consider something like a auger or one og those flat drills,
if they are avialble in 8mm.
The exact size is not important as long as it is about 8mm dia.

Kevin
