Default Need help making a hole...

Chassis punches are as marked. The knockout ones are for conduit pipe and
are the inside as to the tubing spec.

Good Luck,

Use a " Chassis " punch they are as marked.

Undeed, and Greenlee and others make BOTH types.

Electrical "Knockout" punches are like Helicoil taps ... NOT the size

with caution!
