Default Cutting or punching square holes in steel sheet?

I don't know what will be included, it's probably best to confirm that with
your supplier.
There are thrust bearings available for the drawbolt to rotate on, and these
are great for punching with a wrench/ratchet/socket by hand. The plain bolt
will get tedious for numerous holes done by hand.
Another thing to check on would be the head size of the drawbolt.. they have
some square heads that you might not have a socket for, so you might want to
be sure to get the hex head drawbolts in a size that your tools will fit.

That stuff is often best done with a punch.
Then there is also the drilling out of the hole and filing to size.

This
is
only done on a onesy type thing tho.
I think that Greenlee has a 1/2" square punch but am not sure.


OK.. I can get a limited selection of the Greenlee stuff over here, but

1/2"
is way too small, and I dont think it would work too well if I try to make
overlapping holes ( to get the size right) with a punch ?

The excact dimensions of the square hole I need is 45*108 mm ( 1 mm

oversize
os OK )

Another punch-question: I am about to order some Greenlee punches for the
smaller holes I need to make, but from the litterature I can get on the
Greenlee Slugbuster series I cant see if they come with the needed

drawbolt
or not... Does anyone know?
