I used a 6 inch hole saw bit. I'm very lucky because my dad is a tool and die maker and has very expensive tools laying around.

Here's a link to a similar style bit.

Can be mounted to a cordless drill. Just hold on to it tightly lol.

Also, make sure your plexi has tape/paper over it before you start to drill to avoid scratches.
