I had read where some use a cutter knife, others a Dremel tool, and some a tubing cutter. In my experience a tubing cutter wants to track off and dent the can. It does seem to work good on the type of can you are rebuilding. It wont work on the modern FP cans (the larger ones anyway). I tried a Dremel and a cutting disc on my last restuff, and had problems with the disc wanting to bounce out and make marks on the can. I wrote it off as lack of experience. I am going to try a knife next time and see what I get. May be that a specific method works best for each type of can. Trying to figure out the formula. Been doing these experiments on some test equipment, so hopefully I will 'have it down' by the time I get to my really special restorations, like my 500c Fisher  ! Thanks for documenting this in such detail!

The cutout is for the speaker. Here's a photo from a different set.
