What's the easiest way to make the hole for my cylinders ?

 

[SERIOUS]

Power drill with a hole saw

I tried that I went an got a hole saw pit for metal it has a drill bit in the center ... It snapped 1 drill bit already an it keep jerking the fuck outta the drill ... I can't even start it off

You need a quality 1/4" metal drill bit to get the center started. Rigid or Milwaukee hole saw should go through easy.

Hole saw is your best option slow speed use oil and be patient

Not cheapest but My life was made easier when i bought a plasma cutter. Cut cylinder holes, reinforcements, bridges, battery racks, pump mounts, stuck coils, suspension arms, overall it made fabricating so much easier :nicoderm:

Alright cool it won't cut with out oil or it just makes it easier ?

 

[chopp64]

the part where am trying to cut has welds around it from where the previous owner filled the holes to install shocks do I have to grind it flat so the hole saw can cut ?

 

[plague]

Hole saw lube oil and push

IF YOU HAVE A SOMETHING TO WELD WITH, get the right size hole saw and then find A pierce of pipe that is the same ID as the hole saw OD . Cut a small piece off it and tack it to what ever ur trying to hole saw , the pipe will keep the hole saw from going all over the place and you wont need any drill bit to keep it in place......

oil or any lube will keep it cool and working smooth.. If to much heat it will eat up the hole saw

Buy a good quality hole saw the lenox ones are the best i find. Medium speed on the drill with lots of cutting oil if you want the hole saw to last.

I just cut 4 hiles in my frame and two pieces of 1/4 steel with $8 hole saw from lowes and still sharp, take it slow and use wd 40

 

[SERIOUS]

I dont use a drill bit for cutting the holes because they try to bite and end up breaking. I have hardened steel rod in the cener of my holesaw. There is already a small hole up front where the shocks mount and you can drill a guide hole first as well

 

[jdc68chevy]

I use WD-40 OR PB - BLASTER as oil when I cut with my hole saw .

Bi metal is what you want.
