three blades, and that was only because they were crappy, rusted, and  dull.

either way... anytime you use a drill bit or holesaw on metal you should use oil.  it keeps the temp down and keeps the teeth sharp.

RUSKIE:
'They' make a bit for your drill that does a great job on sheet metal. 

It is basically a circle cutter, where an arm attached to a center shaft allows you to move the carbon steel bit out to whatever diameter you want.  It makes a nice, clean cut, too.  Goes through aluminum like butter and is suitable for auto body metal.  It's perfect for dash gage/meter installation.

I've been planning to do the flush mount to my '86 CJ-7, and when I do I'll pick up one of those bits at the Depot.  And I WILL use oil (A-Ganger) though that bit is pretty easy to sharpen.

HOT-ROD:
pic's please of said bit
