do it at home. go get yourself a 3.50" hole saw bit for the electric drill. only takes 30 sec to cut the hole.

naw, I used a dremel and it worked allright....probably a little sloppier than a drill would be, but it all works out in the end, and you can't see the hole anyways once everythings installed.

A dremel tool would do it.

-OR -

Go to Home Depot and rent a power drill and buy the bit. Rental cost on the tool is nil. Get a saw that plugs into the wall.

Much quicker and cleaner this way.
