If that's the case, I'd recommend any of the solutions mentioned... Every
time I use a holesaw, I get something bigger than the diameter of the
holesaw though, but not a huge amount so.
I actually just used my HF unibit clone tonight for the very first time
(first time for any unibit style drill). It was on some fairly thick
stuff... Probably around 1/8" thick steel, so not a direct comparison for
you.
I was quite pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. It became my new
favorite way to get bigger holes in stuff like that!
This is the set I got. On sale right now as well.
