[Frameworks] Hole punchers for film

[Karl Reinsalu]

Leather hole punches leave a rough edge if it's one of the multi-size wheel
ones. Aim for the single units and get a good punch-block for them. A solid
hit will give you a clean hole. Following that, look at craft/beading
stores for "bead reamers". They are multi-sized diamond embedded tips in
order to widen the holes in fugly beads; they are also amazing for cleaning
up your edges when trying to get perfect holes in polyester print stock; go
a little easier if doing acetate.

Best of everything,  Karl.
