I would (lend you one) if I had one... sorry!

But, in the event you can't find one, I took a CD, traced it out and then used a jigsaw. A bit slower but if you're steady you can make it a perfect looking circle. I've done several fan holes this way. HTH

We don't have the hole saw but we do have a jig. Hooks up to your jigsaw and you can set to what ever size hole you need. PM me if you want to give that a try.

I use a dremel with the hole cutting attachment. VERY handy for cutting larger holes, and not that expensive.
