Anything larger than 6 inches you would be better off using a jig saw
and a compass attachment.

The biggest hole saw I have bought from Lowes is 4-1/2", and I don't know
that I would want to go much larger. When the saw gets that large, you need
a powerful drill to turn it. My Dewalt drill has no problem, but when the
saw binds (common with the larger sizes) it will practically rip your arm
off if you're not well braced. Whenever possible, I adjust the extra
handle so it rests against a stud or other solid object to counteract the
kickback when the saw binds.
I find accurate holes are useful up to the 3" to 4" range for things like
electrical boxes, pipes, or dryer ducts. But when the hole gets larger I
usually just draw the opening with a compass or something, then cut it
freehand with a jig saw.
