          Use cutting fluid, it stops tearing.

            Center punch the weld to guide, use a double-sided bit, and sharpen bits often.

              Tearing is from dull bits. Use a double-sided bit, 450 rpm, and center punch the weld. Cutting fluid stops tearing, check torque cause too much rips steel, and sharpen bits often. Clamp to a steel plate.

                Check bit sharpness, it is gonna help with clean cuts.
