I’m looking for a heavy duty knockout punch. Something that can punch a hole in 1/4 inch 316 stainless steel. Does anyone know where I can start looking for one?

    I was looking at Greenlee but everything seemed to be limited to 10 ga for SS

    This is for relatively frequent use. Would a hole saw not wear out incredibly quickly on 316 steel?

      Not if it’s well lubricated.

      I’ve cut hundreds of holes, and did not loose a blade in the kit.

      As crude as they are, holes saws will last a long time and cut through a fair deal of depth material.

      Anchor lube or tap magic are your friends
