    Gotta \"Hole\" problem

    I need to drill (10) 2 1/4" holes in 1/8"-3/16th steel.

    Do they make a 2 1/4" knockout or a metal holes saw for steel that will last ?

    A knockout-punch for 2" conduit will be about 2 1/2" when you're done.

    [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] You can forget the knock-out cutter that we normally use on electrical panels......the material that you mentioned is too thick. A cup-type hole saw will do the job; slow, but effective. [img]/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
