@Dougl - My initial thought would be to use a fine tooth-hole saw. Lay the panel on a block of wood and align the outer edge of the hole saw and the semi-circle marking. Clean up the edge of the cut-out with some wet and dry sand paper.

Whatever the method the key consideration is to go slow - low-speed setting otherwise high-speed will melt the plastic.

Oh, also, when you want to clean up the cutout edge, try using a deburring tool and then wet and dry sandpaper to finish.

If you used this method, you would want to screw the part to the wood using some self tapping screws around the periphery of the waste piece.

I guess that's what is so good about this forum everyone has an opinion and shares thoughts/opinions freely ( in a respectful way). The other alternative is not worth thinking about IMHO.
