Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out...

Hello,

I am curious if anyone knows a source for a tool to create IEC block (for 15 amp detachable power cord) cut-out hole in metal chassis? I know many folks just use a dremmel motor tool to "nibble" a hole, but I'm looking for something that is purpose-designed and will provide professional-looking results.

As an example, such a tool would be invaluable for adding high-quality detachable power cord to Dyna gear, as well as other vintage tube equipment which is popular for rebuild / upgrade DIY projects. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
