Thanks for the responses on this.    I just wanted to post the resolution to this problem.    I just finished my plexiglass cover and all is well!    I decided to cut a hole that's the size of the inner diameter of the finish plate.   In case anyone ever goes through this same scenario, the size of the inner hole of the finishing plate is just about 2 7/8".    They make hole saw's in that size, but likely won't have them at your local hardware store.   I went all around town before I had to break down and order it online.   Of course, I bought a 3" hole saw first, and that was too big of a hole, then I bought a 2 3/4" hole saw and that was too small.   So there goes $30 bucks on something I will likely never use again, but oh well.  The more tools I own the better!    2 7/8" is exactly the right size, but the hole needs to be RIGHT ON.  It's very close.   Glad I got mine right.  Anyway, just wanted to post that here in case someone on the forum ever comes across this again.     Of course, and I just thought of this... since I had the finish plate, I suppose I could have screwed it onto some wood, and then used my flush trim router bit to get the exact size of the hole too.  Oh well, hind sight is 20/20 and not everyone will have the finishing plate I suppose, so the 2 7/8" piece of information is still useful.
