For 20ga? Definately the Chassis punch.


If mild steel, or aluminum (of the stated (20 ga IIRC)
thickness), yes.

For SS I think that maybe the step drill would work a bit
better -- but I'm not sure.

If we were dealing with 16 ga or thicker, and staying with SS, I
would feel stronger about the preference for the step drill.

Enjoy,
