Is it possible to cut a neat notch - say arch shaped, with the arch diameter about 25mm - in a stainless steel cooker hood chimney, without either making a mess of the chimney, or breaking/burning out tools, or both?

Hi all,
Just to be clear, this is not for cutting off the excess when installing stainless ties, I already have the Partex tool for that. I mean removing them at a later date, and not damaging the existing cables.

Hi guys,
Quick question, I am looking for a hole saw that will will cut stainless steel again and again? For example, don't want to cut it once and not be able to use the hole saw again?

Hi guys,
I am sick of buying cheap or expensive drill bits which only last for a couple of drills. What do you think which exact make or model is the best and lasts longest?
I was given some audio plugs purchased by a friend from maplin with which to repair an audio system here at sea.
No matter what temperature I achieved on the plug the solder wouldn't take (yes I burnt out the nylon in the wire). I had a closer look. It's stainless steel. How would standard...
