You can buy Milwaukee hole saws for around $12.00+ and you get to keep the tools after the cuts. After you cut the plates you have perfect centre hole for your stainless ready rod, or turn that hole into a bubble cap and drill your plates out or what ever style you fancy. I think the copper came to $60 bucks Can. lesson learned.
