I use saxton blades brought from amazon. The course ones do a better job on plasterboard with a little less dust.

Call me old fashioned but I find a good quality pad saw does the job just fine.

Bow Locks .............. Drill it with that thing then place your square box over the hole & belt it with a lump hammer.

It soon fits into the round hole.
