What's the best way to cut a clean circle in the metal housing behind the bezel?. I just got a clock similar to the one wlee posted recently. Thanks.....Jim

Used a hole saw to do mine.

That's what I was thinking. Do they make a carbide one for metal?. I guess they do if you used one.

Yes they make one for metal. I did not have a metal one and used one for wood .Now I do not have one for wood either. lol

I usually just buy the red ones from Lordco. I would assume they were carbide

if you know an electrician, see if you could borrow a knockout punch, depending on the size. If not the hole saw should work well.
