About a year ago, I bought a small counter top dishwasher; the apartment I lived in a the time had a kitchen with a connector for it on back of the tap. I have since moved, and the new apartment's kitchen does not come with the necessary facilities.
My first thought was to buy a tap with the required connector, but since this kitchen is quite old, no modern taps (one large cylinder) fit into the counter (two small holes).
So instead I've prepared a connector for the dishwasher under the sink, and all I need now to get it installed is to make an hole in the counter top to route the plastic water pipe through.
How would I best go about this to make the hole look clean and have a raised edge to prevent leakage?

You can use this type of bit. First drill a pilot hole of 3/5mm before using this.
Found over here
or this - but its more difficult - It says for wood but you can use them for soft steel as well but you need to constantly lubricate (lots!! dont be shy) the bit/surface to keep it cool using WD40 lubrication oil and drill at a slow speed. This is more dirtier and the edge can be rubbish.
Then you can mount something like this
These can be found at furniture shops/ swimming pool shops/ hardware stores.. you will need to find the one you need and possibly DIY it slightly.
