I use a table press punch I bought at http://busybeetools.ca for around $100.00CAD
A friend of mine who is a machinist built me an adapter to insert
some punch bits with the correct diameter sizes for the most used holes like
leds, toggle switches, 1/4" jacks, Alpha pots, etc..
I  just change the bit for the correct holes to punch.  

See the picture here:

Under the handle part there is a dark steel rectangular part followed by
a lower hexagonal part. These have been built to fit with the press actuator going down
and accept a punching bit underneath.
The desired bit is secured with an hex screw at the overall bottom.
