I put some small aluminum blocks where the optical

a #93 ( I think that is the right size ) bit as the punch. This
I sharpened such that it has two flukes, similar to what a paper
punch has.
Assuming one had a sharp enough bit, why wouldn't it be possible to
simply punch all the holes straight through the jacket without having
to do anything more than align the index hole in the cookie with the
index hole in the jacket? It might not look pretty, but what would
prevent it from working? Would there be still too much of a burr
left on the jacket that would interfere with the works?
