Yep. you may want to drill a small hole (1/4" or so) as a starter and
use a template (probably about 1-3/8" in diameter) to guide the cutting
head.

I have some 1/2 inch metal I need to make some large holes in (about 1

All I have is an a/c welder and a cutting torch with small tip. What
would be the best way to do this?


Ironworker, drill press, milling machine .. however, if all you have is
a cutting torch, why even ask? Burn the holes and you're done! - GWE
