Found a hack for cutting holes in container walls without a plasma cutter
Needed to cut a 6 inch hole for a vent pipe last week. My plasma cutter was at a friend's shop. Tried using an angle grinder but the sparks were insane and the cut looked terrible. Then a guy on a different forum mentioned using a holesaw with an adapter on a drill. Sounded sketchy but I had a carbide tipped holesaw sitting around. Put it on my 18v drill and it went through that corten steel like butter. Took forever though about 20 minutes of steady pressure. Used cutting oil every 30 seconds to keep the bit alive. Anyone else tried this or found a faster way with basic tools?

20 minutes of steady pressure" sounds like a good way to burn up a cheap drill motor.
