I've been working on a project that requires a lot of little circles (1.5mm rivets) that need to be cut out. All of my other hole punches are too large so I needed something that cut smaller holes. I'm also way too cheep to invest in a Japanese hole drill or other punch die set that cost $$$'s so I decided to make my own from stuff that I found laying around the house; a piece aluminum, a piece of plastic and a 1.5mm drill bit. It was pretty easy to make and works very well. It punches out very clean crisp holes even in heavy 1mm card stock without any trouble. I don't think I would want to use it for anything other than paper but that's okay since I only model in card.

Here's a picture of what it looks like. I ain't pretty but it works.
