I guess knowing the shape/size/weight of the thing that you're putting a hole through would be important.

Google for "laser cutters", "water jet cutters"

Yes, can't really understand why the word is on the swear list to be honest. We do seem to have produced some delicate souls.😀

Possibly the same ones complaining about the Chubby Brown shows.

Mate has a plasma cutting machine that might do this.   He’s in Thorpe Hesley though.

Im guessing that the Scunthorpe Forum is called the S****horpe Forum.

can it be done on a pillar drill ?

I would think you could do it with a 4" grinder if needs by

yep,could do, but just wondering what shape it is as  ive only got a small pillar drill an its easier on there 👍

[butlers 259]

True enough.

Think my pillar drill might do about 8 " from edge to centre.

Course it could be the steel is in situ too

I’d have been very surprised if The Steel City couldn’t sort this one out.
