Hole saws will work, but sheet metal cutters are more accurate. After that, dimple dies. Voila.

I would buy that over dimple dies unless you plan to use really thick material. It is so much faster to just use that with the flare tool.

It doesn't mention stainless on there, only mild steel. I'm sure it's fine for .049" 4130 though.
