Question Drilling Wing Tip Lens

Reading over p. 24-2 (RV-10) about cutting and drilling the lenses, the plans call for an initial #40 hole followed by a #28.

If wire gauge acrylic drill bits exist, I can't find them. I've read thru more threads on drilling these than I care to think about, but I can't find what I'm looking for.

What size acrylic bits did y'all actually use? I'm not interested in using "dull" bits I've used on other parts.

Thanks.
