As Mr Smyth says, a plunge cut with an oscillating multi tool would be easier and give a neater finish. They're super useful to have anyway if you're doing bits and pieces of DIY. This will do the job, or go up in price/align with your battery system of choice as you please.

Ignore the #buyers. If a dremel is what you have that’ll work absolutely fine. Could glue or double side tape a small access panel in after.
I have to cut a small hole in a wooden panel, possibly 12cm x 12cm at the most. The wood looks about 5mm thick and I presume it’s plywood. It was used to box in a gas meter (top tip for boxer inners - leave space for the valve handle!)
I was planning to mark out the cut on the wood, drill a small whole in each corner and then use a proper wood cutting disk on a dremel to do the cuts, does this seem like a reasonable plan?
I’m not sure a conventional saw will fit in the space and I have to not hit the gas pipe / meter as well.
Any better plan gratefully received.
Also any ideas for something easy to stick over this new hole that will give some room for the handle rather then try to build a box - some sort of junction box?
