Hire it cut with a CNC water-jet cutter or CNC plasma cutter or CNC laser cutter. Drill a hole, thread in a blade and saw it out with a bandsaw (assumes blade welding abilities) or jig saw or deep-frame (depends how wide the rim is) hacksaw / fretsaw / jewelers saw. | |

| May 22, 2019 at 10:58 | comment | added | riqui | @Ecnerwal Thank you. That's it. How would you do it? | |
| May 22, 2019 at 10:53 | comment | added | Jim Stewart | Would this be a stainless steel plate? | |
| May 22, 2019 at 10:48 | comment | added | Ecnerwal | You are trying to cut a circular hole in the plate to mount the sink in? i.e the hole left in the plate is what you need to have be "good" rather than cutting a circular disk? A disc grinder will do poorly at making a nice hole. | |
