Punching holes in powder coated sheetmetal




Can powder coated sheetmetal (CRS) be punched to create a hole without the paint on the edges of the hole peeling back or cracking?

Barring any other details the answer is yes.

Second of two simultaneous responses --

That would depend on the thickness of the material, the quality of the paint and the sharpness and fit of the punch dies.
Only one way to tell, try it.
