Clearance below the NMO is about 3/8 inch (~10mm). You really only need a bit more than the clearance of the coax in the bushing assembly as shown here.
I just drilled a couple of NMO's on my (aluminium body) F-150 last weekend and I use a wrench tightened metal hole punch like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Greenlee-730BB-3-Standard-Knockout-4-Inch/dp/B001UL13M2
