Metal

How to: Piercing

Published: November 5, 2007
Use a center punch and mallet to create a shallow dimple in the section of the metal you want to remove. Place the metal on a piece of wood. Secure the metal with a clamp, and drill a hole using the dimple as a guide.

Remove one end of the saw blade from the saw frame. Slide the blade through the hole in the metal, then reinsert the blade into the frame, and tighten. Saw out the inside section of the metal. Remove one end of the blade from the saw frame to remove the metal piece.
