I am putting a dome on my mash tun and I need to punch a hole through the very center of a stainless bowl so I can insert my sparge dudad.
Can I borrow someone's thingamajig that cuts circles in stainless?
The hole needs to be about 1.25 inches in diameter.
Any help would be appreciated.

I was going to shoot it with a deer slug, but since something more elegant is available, I will take advantage of it.

I have a step bit around here somewhere if you would like to borrow it. It will give 1.25 inches.
