> Mayf,

If there is a tool, I have not found it. I made one but I usually punch 
the hole bigger so it doesn't require a flare saving myself a step. If 
your putting the top panel on top of another panel, just use a counter 
sink tool, use a single cut and go slowly until it clears.
Hope this helps.
