I need a cheap drill, I’ll only ever use it for one speific bit, 5/18th of an inch bit, into plastic and soft wood. But i also want to use it just once once to cut a banana shaped hole into a sheet of plywood. It can be a rough cut made of random holes if it needs to be and taped over to seal the jagged gaps.
Cheap Drill That Can Also Be Used Once to Cut a Small Shape into Plywood

Or try the local Men's Shed. I think that's what they are for?
I guess they could also be like a proper community centre you might need to join.There’s a chance of getting dye on their drill for what I need it for. Could borrow a drill for the wood but I’ll still need a drill anyway around the place. Plywood can’t need a good drill surely.

Ideal for drilling into timber, plastic and metal and hammer drilling into masonry products such as brick, concrete and masonry.
Used this to drill some holes in concrete for concrete anchors to secure a big garage i just put up. Cheap and cheerful, does the job. Think it was on sale for $20 a year or two ago
I think you mean 5/16” (no such thing as a 5/18 drill). You could also opt for an 8mm drill bit, as they are virtually same size.
They are about $6.50 @ Bunnings. I’m not sure just how much cheaper you want it to be.
If you want a drill, you can head down to Aldi this weekend and pick up a $50 one that will do the job.Again, just how cheap do you want this stuff?
Glad to hear at least someone bring this up. I don't understand the need for such a specific hole size but doesn't own a drill already…
Any drill is going to be OK for plywood. More important is the drill bit, cheap ones will become blunt more quickly but you can buy a decent quality single bit for around $10. Consider spending an extra $20 and buy a coping saw if your shape is near enough to the edge. It'll be much easier to cut the shape then trying to drill connecting holes and it'll leave a better edge.
People don't normally cut holes with a drill. Try a jigsaw.

Please don’t do this!
Once and once equals two times. Check out SCA or Bunnings for the cheapest drill you can get and a drill bit.
Buy a cheap one from gumtree. Check for working on the spot.
or buy this one

or any non battery one. Batteries die if you don't use them for years.
I do have portable mains standard battery anyway.
¿Qué?
Can't you just borrow a drill from a friend or family member? Or even ask on facebook in a local group, to see if you can borrow one.
