Looking for a tool
I've got a customer trying to drill a 1-1/16" diameter hole through a thin
(1/16") piece of wood/plastic composite material. They can't really use a hole saw because the "plug" gets stuck in the center of the tool and the process is automatic, running a few hundred holes per shift and only stopping the drill machine to end a shift or change a tool. I know they make plug ejection tooling for metalworking hole saws (I sell 'em!) but they don't work with thin wood or plastic materials so I doubt they will work with this. I'm thinking there is either a special tool for this that ejects the plug or that someone sells a unibit (stepped drill bit) off the shelf with the 1-1/16" diameter capability... But I can't find the daggone thing. Anyone have any good ideas for me other than having custom tooling made or modifying a standard hole saw? Maybe a source for that stepped drill bit (looks like a Christmas tree). Already tried McMaster and MSC but I'm sure there are other options out there or that I may have missed it.
