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
