What's that Lassie? You say that Doug Miller fell down the old
rec.crafts.metalworking mine and will die if we don't mount a rescue

I need to put a 3/4" diameter hole in the front of my kitchen range hood.
Never mind why -- that's kind of involved. It's stainless steel, about 20ga,
and it would be a real PITA to dismount it and take it anywhere. I really need
to make the hole with the unit in place.

What's the best tool to use for that job?

Plasma cutter. If you have access to one. Make a template in
plywood, test on scrap.
