Default I need to cut a large hole in sheet metal.

The hole must be neat and cut in situ.


A makeshift trammel bar of wood (1 x 2" for ex.) with a tool steel cutter
should do fine with that thin guage--pivoting on a small bolt.

Or a saber saw, with a circle-cutting guide and a toothless blade, the
kind with carbide grit available at most hardware stores.
