I dont know the name of the tool in english but at its end it has 3 razors ending to a common sharp edge. Otherwise you can use a common drill using 5-6mm diameter but with extreme caution.

"REAMER"


It's a conical-shaped blade in the form of a hand tool so you can control the size as you rotate clockwise into the lexan.
