This is my favorite vendor: http://www.intl-eyelets.com/

In addition to making all kinds, types and sizes of eyelets, they 
also make an extremely useful tool, a "drill mill". It is like a
miniature hole cutter. You clamp a #60 drill inside it, and it not
only drills the component lead hole, but it also mills out a perfect
pad out of blank PCB material. Available in diameters of 0.1, 0.15
and 0.2 inch.  They are one of the most useful tricks in my shop.
