The easiest way to cut large holes, is with a plasma cutter. Make a

Other methods will work, but this is the fastest and simplest way,

certainly better if you have to cut more than one or 2 holes.

Of course! Almost everyone has a plasma cutter or two in their shop!

The fact that your workshop may well be pretty poorly equipped, doesnt
mean
everyone elses is the same surely?

4 mills, 2 of which are cnc, 2 lathes, bandsaws, several grinders,
welders,
vibe deburring, a ****load of cutting tools, thousands of dollars in
inspection
tools, up to date cad/cam, bunches of misc stuff, and a dog, and a cat. If
I
need a plasma cutter, I go see my bud about a mile away. Poorly equipped
my
ass. Whatcha got besides a smartass mouth, dead brain?

Seems strange that you dont have a plasma then, which for the money is one
of the most useful metalworking tools available!

there.
