   For holes from 1/8" up to about an inch, the only tool I will use for
drilling thin metal (aluminum, soft steel, etc) is a Unibit. Similar to
this:

The generic name for this is "step drill". Very clean holes in thin sheet
metal.

Larger holes will require something else.

  I’m in the process of putting together a field charging case, and want
suggestions on the best way to accurately cut holes in the sides of an
aluminum carrying case. Since I’m sure others have gone before me, I’d
rather not do it the hard way the first time J



Thanks,
