DIY pizza pan drill, for small series production

Hi you all,

I was wondering how to manufacture different diameter smooth hubcabs from ABS sheets. Quality needs to be good, so jigsaw is out of question. Different sizes you need because not all rims are the same diameter and the size can differ lets say in 14" rims -+5 mm easily what will fit... Max rim diameter I need would be 22.5" so guite big and the smallest pieces 10". It is not wise to order 4 pieces cutted with CNC every time you need custom hubcaps...

Idea comes from regular Google-kuvahaun tulos kohteessa http://home-decor-store.biz/pictures/SHELVING/adjustable-carbide-hole-drill.jpg

Now that wont work because we dont want a hole to the center. We need to build 4 supports to the sides of the drilling area. Supports need to have slides so the drill can go up and down straigth. You will need footholes for you support to push this big drill to ground.

Now the drill needs to be with two blades to be in balance. Both blades need to be adjustable. Power to machine would come from big electric hand drill. What you think could this work?
