[Milsurplus] "N" bulkhead punch?

[Peter Gottlieb]

I think you want a "double D 0.625 inch" punch.  That's what's spec'd for the N 
bulkhead connectors I have.

I don't have any special tools to make this type of a hole in my enclosure. I am guessing that a metal punch (like a greelee) should be used to make such a hole.  Does anyone know what kind/model of punch I should look out for? What size?
