If you want a good bit for cutting circles in MDF, this is what was recommended to me by one of the guys that knows his stuff: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...73&ccurrency=1

A good straight cutting bit.

^ I would choose a spiral upcut bit - continuous cutting and chip removal.

For circles that large I would use a router for wood and an airsaw/nibbler for metal.

HD sells hole saws up to 6" I believe. Also, check out Princess Auto. They sell an adjustable hole saw that does up to about 6" for $4.99. I have one and it kicks major kiester. The thing goes through 3/4" MDF like a thermally charged kitchen utensil through some kind of semi-solid dairy .
