          Due to costs and time restraints the holes didn't make it to the actual job, but it turned out nice

                Another way: (multi) hole on solid, see this screencast.

                  That is fast and easy, installing now. Thank you.

                    If you want to use the multi hole tool, the hole components must have the "cut hole option" active (and this is difficult to find in the documentation)

                      I was just gonna ask about the holes!

                        Yeah, it would have meant making a jig for the router then cut the holes out, round off the holes and then sanded them. Plywood is a pain in the butt to sand, I wish I had a router bit that could sand and cut at the same time- that would be a great time saver.
