This is not manufacturing but rather re-manufacturing and this seemed like the best place to post this question. I have a need to put BNC connectors into older equipment that have sheet metal cases and I am looking for a tool to punch D shaped holes of the correct size and shape to install BNC connectors. I have not found the right tool to do this - the issue is that most punches are designed for flat sheets before they have been bent - punch holes first, then bend to final shape, but I need to punch D holes in older equipment. Is there a tool out there that will do this?

Die will probably have an ejector pin, so simply make a hole to clear it, and use this as an alignment point with the punch in the press and the die held firmly in the base, so you just put the ejector pin in the hole and press it through.
