I need (read want) to cut or drill some holes in a couple of spots in my car...
Some of these will be on the top of the center tunnell... I want these to be perfectly round, not a hack job with a sawzall... I am thinking at least 1.5" in diameter... What do I use to do these? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but hole saws or bits, from what I have seen, are for wood - not metal... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

One will also get a better result when using hole saws in steel if one applies some WD-40 (or equal) to lubricate (and cool) the bit and the steel to be cut.

If one uses the lube they may get the hole saw to cut many more holes than just one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)


I think one will find with the lube added , one will not need to 'rest" the hole saw although one may need to rest one's arms.
