I contacted Mr. Owens at Next Wave Automation at this email address. He was extremely helpful. I hope by giving out this address I don't upset anyone. (towens@nextwaveautomation.com)

Thank you guys for the ideas. For what its worth I am cutting carbon fiber frames for my R/C Electric Helicopter. The Heli frame is two pieces of carbon fiber bolted togather. So, I thought the drill bit idea would simplify matters for drilling nine mount holes. Again, thanks for the infomation. Bil...
