What's the best way to drill a nice clean, round 3/4" hole in 16 gauge (0.060") sheet steel? This a car body, so it would be hard to back up the hole with anything. Thanks, Doug ____________________

I would use a 3/4" hole saw or if there is room, a 3/4" knockout. It's pretty hard to keep a regular drill from grabbing & making a mess. Dave Russell _______________________________________________

Drill an ugly 1/2 hole and expand it with a dremel? Cutting torch? How clean does it have to be? Are you mounting something that needs a 3/4" hole but is actually covering a 1" circle? The real way t

Is it a flat or contoured surface? I've got a few old radio chassis punches in varying condition that sometimes come in handy for such things. Failing that, I think I'd ink/paint the 3/4in diameter

Wow! A lot of people with nothing to do on a Friday night except stare at a computer screen! Thanks for all the quick advice. I happen to have a decent bi-metal 3/4" hole saw blade, so I'll try that

My hole saws -- which I admit are cheap junk -- all have an awful lot of set to them, and produce holes bigger than their nominal size. They're round holes, though, so it might not be a problem. -- D

If that's the case, I'd recommend any of the solutions mentioned... Every time I use a holesaw, I get something bigger than the diameter of the holesaw though, but not a huge amount so. I actually j

Btw, they also sell knockout kits. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91201 I've got one, but haven't used it. The basics look just like the expensive knockout + dimple

I got a set a year or so ago, too. I use them all the time. Very useful in thin stuff and cost effective. Dave C _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/d

I'll second that - I have a set of these (then called Rotabroach, but the same item) and they're really great. Not sure they work as well as a unibit on some materials - I have both. The unibit gives

Important to centrepunch the hole well and keep the Rotacut centreguide sliding freely. A little cutting oil works wonders. The fullsize Rotabroach machine is a very impressive piece of kit when you

Can a Rotabroach (annular cutter) be used in something other then a Rotabroach machine (mag base drill), IE: milldrill, drill press, hand held drill motor, etc.? chad ________________________________
