Just ordered a set of hole saws from amazon that has a 4" hole saw, it was only £11.  Hopefully it will do the job!  I shall definitely be rounding over the edges  :cheers:

Don't forget to go halfway through both sides or you'll have some nasty tearout on the exit side.

Would you think clamping a piece of scrap to the back and just going partially into that be sufficient?

I clamped scrap when i was doing my ventilation holes, they came out ok.  I'll try the halfway on both sides trick on a dummy run first.

Ding-ding-ding.   :applaud:

If you're going to use a grill anyway, who cares if a hole you can't see isn't perfect?
