Fireplace fan

Step 3 Cut fan holes

Install a metal cutting disc in your Dremel tool. Cut along the circles. Do this step outside as metal dust and sparks will fly everywhere. Wear gloves and eye and ear protection! The cut edges will be sharp. Use a sanding stone to finish them and round any other sharp corners.

At this point you can also cut the metal sheet to the correct width. It only needs to be as wide as the two fans.

A little less time consuming way is to just buy the right size hole saw from your local big box home improvement center. Make sure you clamp the metal sheet to some wood with your holes and some screws. Rotating sheet metal is dangerous
