Well, if you have to cut a bunch of holes, a regular hole punch works 
better no doubt about it, used them all the time at the shipyard. That is 
until you watched the old guys, they would lay a piece of gasket material 
on the flange and cut it by beating on the edges and the bolt holes with 
a ball-peen hammer. You can whip out a gasket in about 2 mins using that 
technique. It was ugly but it worked ( a bull-job they called it).
