Yes exactly. xHassassin nailed it.
And yes heading over to home depot or lowes would be the better option considering that there will be people around to answer your questions if you have any
Although the home depot near my home does not have too many options as far as holesaws go just one brand and a couple of sizes.

Pardon me if I am wrong can you tell me why you need the holesaw isnt 2-3/8-Inch an odd size at least for a fan ?

Oh and one more thing. If you need holes of various sizes. upto maybe 1" in diameter. look at the step bit. similar to this one. The one in the picture drills holes upto 1/2" in diameter

Home depot has the same arbor for ~12USD. Also, Home depot is ~ the same price for a 3 3/8" hole saw. McMaster-Carr is too, but it's arbor is ~10USD. However, you still need to pay for shipping. Therefore, I recommend you go to Home Depot and buy it there.
I already went to Home Depot. They only had holesaws for everything except metal.

The only hole saw they stock in is bi-metal, which works on metal, hence the name bi-metal.

But if you seriously can't find one, go on McMaster-Carr and order some. Shipping isn't that bad.
