T-5 Shifter Floor Hole

Hi everyone, I am in the process of swapping my 700R4 out of my IROC for a T-5. I will be cutting the hole in the floor this week for the shifter access and was wondering what others have used to do this on their cars - (wizzer wheel, saws-all, hacksaw, etc) any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated - thanks - Erik

I used a cutter hooked to an air compressor. Other than waiting for the compressor to keep up, it worked fine.
