I don't know about cutting sheet metal, but they do have a whole saw that
will cut through metal. I know because I used one to cut a disk out of a piece
of quarter inch thick metal plating. Did this in a metal shop class in high
school bout 12 years ago and I still have that saw today.

Are you speaking of cutting sheet metal in this way?
I don't think a standard hole saw is the tool for that job unless there is
some sort I am unaware of which is quite possible.

Rob,
I believe what you're referring to is a cutting tool arm. This is an arbor
with an "arm" attached that holds a lathe-type cutting tool on the end. The
arbor serves to hold the drill bit and also allows the "arm" to be adjusted
in radius to permit differing size holes to be cut. I would think you would
need to use a drill press with this configuration because it would be so
difficult to keep the drill bit standing perpendicular to the stock being
cut to ensure a perfectly round hole. And even with a drill press a lot of
care is needed to make sure only an even and equal amount of stock is being
removed with each revolution of this set up.
I have one of these and as you bore down with the drill press extreme care
and delicacy must be in play. A much easier way to cut a 6" diameter hole
is to buy or rent a 6" hole saw -- but these are expensive. I bought a
Vermont American 6" hole saw and it cost over $40.00.
