This works really well, faster and I'm not even certain peck drilling is needed for a 5mm deep hole, just a straight plunge would be even faster.
Have to be careful if roughing corners with a 5mm tool as in my case, after the corners hole is drilled it leaves a little lip where the edge of the 5mm tool radius reached, the 2mm finish tool takes a bit of a bite here but seems ok with it.
