Its essential to use the appropriate size welded hole saw (with its pilot drill in the arbor) when drilling acrylic, and drill from the glossy side after covering the area with masking tape - which will help with the marking out.
Brass tap backnuts are a good idea, if your originals are that ghastly plastic.

is it hole saw for 3/4 inch hole? what about 1/2 inch hole. can i use a standard drill?
No - use a hole saw for both! Saves likely damage.
With the taps in front of you, measure the thread diameter and choose the next size hole saw up.
