I want to make about a 1.25" hole in the base of a few food cans. What's
the best option?
32mm ARMEG Acceler8%.
Probably the best steel hole cutting saw I have ever used.
If you have other uses for them then consider buying a kit with different
sizes and spare springs etc
Surely this can be done with a knife. It's what canopeners do. The
question in my mind is what sort of knife, and what to rest the can base
on etc.
Punches are overly expensive for a few cans, and IMLE distort the f out of
what they cut. Holesaws are possible, but it sounds a painful option.
You have answered your own question. Buy a sharp knife and use your wrists
to support the can base when cutting the hole.
