[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 223207, member: 10"] I have and it does not work well - it will tear and catch in the metal You should use a hole saw - or, if you are like me and work fast and sloppy: 1. trace in marker the spot where you want to put the hole 2, Use a 1/4 drill bit, drill on the inside of the line as many times and you can (use a cross pattern to avoid bending the metal); 3. Using a round file, - connect the dots until you get your hole If you have a nice sharp drill bit it goes really fast with minimal filing [/QUOTE]
