I had one of mine cut with a plasma cutter and the other one I did with an angle grinder. I ended up liking the results I did with the angle grinder better.

It took a little longer, but it was more accurate in my opinion.

Yeah, I cut mine with a 4" cutoff wheel on my grinder. Actually, I used a wheel that was worn down to about 2.5" diameter and it actually hugged the curve well for a 12" hole. Get a loop of string and throw it over the valve neck, use a sharpie marker on the other end of the loop to make a perfect circle.

Look for a place to use a plasma cutter, you will get a much better result. Just call around to some shops and ask if they will do it.

You don't want the sabre saw, trust me.

I used a hole saw for mine, just remember to use plenty of cutting oil
