I fabricated an aluminum plate the same size as the floppy with a 5/32 hole
drilled at the correct location.  I overlay this plate on the floppy to be
drilled and then drill it out using a variable speed drill at about as low a
speed as I can get it to turn.  Use a sharp drill and bear down with some 
pressure and you will get the plastic shavings to come out in a few twisted
pieces.  No plastic bits left inside the disc jacket so far.
