My choice #1...Blair hole saw, drill a pilot hole the size of the arbor....DO NOT rely on a spring loaded arbor pin

#2 Use a step drill as already mentioned, again drill a pilot hole, about 1/8" first.

Another good choice would be a greenlee hole punch if you could borrow one, and if you have back side clearance.

worst choice in sheetmetal is a twist drill

And tape the area, as mentioned...and don't be scared just Git er done

Thanks guys, just looked at Greenlee Hole Punches online those things look pretty sweet. I think I may order a few.

Thanks again

If you are looking for greenlee punches, look on ebay. Sets often sell for cheap. Even if they are well used, you only need to wring a few holes out of them.
