Wayne, It is called a hollow mill, it needs to have a 5/16 hole in it. Here is a picture of one that I made. Mine is a little different than his.

It's a cutter that is used with magnetic drills, in the UK the trade name is 'Rotabroach'

There's nothing to stop you making an adaptor, one end to go in a Jacobs chuck, and the other end to accept a Rotabroach cutter.
You just need a lathe, or a mate with a lathe
