lets talk metalwork

A die-grinder with a cut-off wheel arbor and one cylindrical carbide bit might be your friend.

Also a electric jigsaw with metal blades might help with circle cutting... certainly easier to control than the sawzall. I :dunno: about 0.250 though...

I discovered the carbide bits in the last couple of years. I also discovered that unlike cut-off wheels and grinding wheels, you should not walk barefoot in the garage after using the carbide bits. Those slivers are nasty!
