Yes but I'm asking does a punch that is supposed to punch a 1.5" hole, punch a hole that's very close or does it end up over or under sized. For instance hole saws always seem to end up over-sized.

I meant more, when it says 1.5 does it make a 1.5" hole or more like a 1 3/8 or 1 5/8. Welders always want a snug fit.

Doesn't have a brand really, it's closer to 2mm. I might give a punch a try then. Does it typically punch a hole the same size as the die, or does it over/under size? Also, does it distort the shape of the pot around the hole or punch clean?
