[Shop-talk] Sheet metal question

[Todd Walke]

         My first thought was a cutoff wheel in a die grinder, assuming you 
have an air compressor.
         Mark the cut line with a Sharpie.  Go slow and steady using both 
hands to hold the die grinder and you can cut a fairly clean circle of that 
size.
         Cut towards the inside of the line then use a sanding drum or 
carbide burr to finish the shape and clean up the edge.
