What tool do you metal pounders recommend for cutting circles? I welded up the side marker mounting holes and am read to weld in a disc in the large center hole -- don't want to pack that sucker with filler, ya know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
BTW, I have very shallow pockets so let's keep costs down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |

Humm, without a pilot drill, you need to do it in a drill press.
Clamp it down (the sheet metal) on a block of wood VERY well or it will eat you alive. Or: Scribe the diameter out with a compass and cut with L or RH sheet metal shears. File or grind to clean up. Easy. |
