Howdy all,

I'm making a face plate for my computer out of 1/8" aluminum. I cut the drive bays, using a combination of a dremel cutting wheel and a jigsaw, drilled for mounting and buttons and such, and now I need to cut two 60mm holes for fans I'll be using to cool my hard drives.

Unfortunately, I can't get a clean cut with either my dremel or the jigsaw - the diameter is too small. I was looking into buying a hole-saw, which I know would be the ideal solution, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any cheaper solutions. I also wouldn't be averse to bolting up something that had 2 60mm holes already cut in it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
