Default Drilling Tufnol

Is this the right place for this question? A 'workshop method' question associated with replicating a vintage part.
I need to drill some 30mm diameter holes through 20mm thick Tufnol, what is the best method?
I can envisage use of a hole-saw or maybe a woodworking flat-bit?
I want a nice clean edge to the hole on at least one side (the other side will be subsequently milled away) and clean sides.
Tufnol is expensive to experiment, so has anyone got experience of working with it?

Many thanks,

Andy
