How would you do it?

[TANGUS]

Okay, here's the problem. What methods would you guys use to cut a 1" hole in any bar steel (this rules out the forging process).

1. Torch (accepted method)
2. Drilling holes around circumference then "connecting the holes" with a jeweler's saw.

Any other creative ideas out there?--thanks, Dan

Use a 1in hole saw

I would use a hole saw.

would you use a hole saw on 01 steel? I thought those hole saws were for wood?--Dan

Bi-metal saw.
