Default Try Sears
That is where I got mine second one. The first one I got at Harbor Freight, but I couldn't get it to make a nice hole.

Also known as "circle cutter".

Fly cutters aka "Square-Insert Flat-Surface Cutters."

Have you tried McMaster-Carr or Grainger?

I picked mine up at sears. For the life of me I can't find it on their website. Here is a pic of what theirs looks like:

Sears does have it - they call it a circle cutter:
