What is the best way to cut the two 4" scoop holes in a Demon hood? Too big for a hole saw and I'm affraid a jigsaw will be a rough cut even with a fine blade.

you could try it with offset aviation snips. I have cut 8' lengths of 18 GA steel with them and you can also cut fairly tight curves . you would just need to cut a hole to get them started .

it takes longer to drill the 7/8" dia hole required for the arbor than it does to punch a hole

I do like the greenlee but it is a bit expensive for the limited times I may use it. The Malco cutter looks like a more affordable alternative.

I checked it out online with Sunbelt Saturday and did not see it listed. I called them today and they did not have one local but could get it. It would cost about $100 for them to ship it from another location and rent to me.
