Q. I build desert racing machines for my friends and myself. I see other companies punching holes in pieces of sheet metal (dimple dies) and then welding it to the truck for weight and appearance reasons. What is the formula for cutting holes in a piece of metal and still obtaining its strength and durability? I've seen people doing it without understanding it. (Submitted by: Brian from Unknown)
