We had a need to cut a 7″ circle out of metal on a sunday and didn’t have access to any stores that sell them, so we made one. It didn’t work as well as planned, but we got it finished up. We used simple tools like angle grinders, hand drills, files, vice grips, and welder. You can kind of call this a DIY drill bit of sorts for drilling large holes in thin metal, steel, aluminum or wood.
This is a DIY circle cutter for metal.

Stay Classy Guys!
I dunno you can do with that clamper
Shit looks dangerous.
I just use a jigsaw
Interesting. I enjoyed your video and it's good to see others ideas. However, seeing all your tools in that nice shop, I am wondering if you have, or considered a plasma cutter?
Science! I have a professionally made fly cutter like this made for wood. I think I'd go with the circle cutters that use an angle grinder. There's a slick one by a Finnish guy that uses a suction cup as a base instead of a magnet.
Lol
Not to nit pick, Drilling metal is usually quicker if your drill speed is much MUCH slower and perhaps next time use some cutting fluid, ;) Dropped a like anyway..
There are all kinds of tools to cut holes but when the moment comes and you don't have the tools creativity kicks in that's when it matters not having an specialized tool will not stop great minds
2:51 that way of mount was really stupid
