These are designed for cutting wood, or at most, aluminum. Steel may be a different thing.

Would it not be possible to cut a block of 2X4 that can be pushed up under the hole, and clamped in place with a couple big C-clamps outside the hole area? You could mark the center of the hole directly on the wood, and drill downward, using the hole in the wood to guide a single hole saw - no need to buy two blades.

Just thinking - dangerous, I know.

I'll pass your idea on to DH. We constantly argue over the approach to these things. Usually i am right LOL! We have a lot of tools here, clamps, etc. I am the engineer here even though I am am an accountant by trade.
