Cutting a larger outlet hole in a stainless steel sink

Wilde_37 · 2009-03-18 15:31:12

I have a stainless steel kitchen sink with a standard 6cm plug hole. I want to expand the hole to 12cm to fit a garbage disposal. Anyone got any suggestions on this? Is there some tool I can rent to cut into it? Don't really want to have to replace the sink with one which has the larger hole!

Jasus - would you look at that... "The use of under sink food macerators/food grinders for processing and discharging waste food to the drainage system are prohibited."
