where to get cool hole punching tool
Where can I get the tool that makes the cool holes with the radius'd lip? You know those lightening holes you see in the sheetmetal on a lot of these high end cars.
And, Can I use my drill prees as a press for them?1971 Camaro 427 in waiting

For sheetmetal I have the mittler brothers punches. they are nice because they punch the hole and flare it all in one step. Keep a stock of 1/2 20 bolts around because they do wear out.
I bought the hole set (:D) and use them all the time.
Also worth noting, you can flip the flare part around and just punch a clean hole in sheetmetal for grommets or whatever.

^^^ Yes, yes, and yes.
I use anti-sieze on the threads of the 1/2 - 20 bolts. It seems to help...John Parsons
