I believe the same bit that's used for glass.  I was going to wait until I knew 
exactly what diameter hole I wanted, and then purchase it.

  What kind of drill bit is used for Plexi? I would like to know, because, I
  drilled a bunch of holes in it, and some of the holes cracked the acrylic
  sheet.

  This weekend I'm going to be drilling a Plexiglas tank lid (black plastic)
  to mount lights and hinges.  Other than getting the right bit, and drilling
  slowly, are there any other special tricks I need to do to avoid stress
  cracks, etc.?
