I hate drilling ss, so if the material is thin enough & the number of
holes large enough, I use the plasma cutter. Make a template by
drilling a larger, right-size, hole in a piece of MDF or whatever's
handy. Bob's yur uncle.

Avoid marking hole locations with a center punch. Use a felt tip or
pencil, follow previous guidance, slow speed, cutting fluid, lots of
pressure. If you use a center punch, that'll be the one place your
hole won't go because of work hardening.
