I got a set of those last time Aldi had them. Used the biggy to cut 6 holes in 6mm plate, took a while but they did the job. Definitely worth the money.

Apparently the Screwfix own brand holesaws are pretty good as well if you ever need individual sizes.

I've got a few of those, not from Aldi but look very similar, I've used them to cut lots of holes in wood and thin aluminium with good results .................... a few weeks back my eldest Son turned up with a new kitchen sink which needed a 32mm hole for the mixer tap ............... the mystery "plastic / resin" killed 2 hole cutters in short order and we ended up chain drilling and filing the rest of the hole .................... cast iron would have been kinder on the tooling :(

Anyway .............. Aldi hole cutters seem pretty good ............... the mystery plastic, if we could bottle it might be worth lots as armour plating :D
