Useful tip: when using a hole saw, run it in reverse for a few turns to gently scratch into the veneer before cutting, to avoid splitting and chipping. I also found that the hole was slightly tight and opened it out using an abrasive flap wheel on the drill.
That’s a great tip! Cheers Doug.[/quote]
Good advice running backwards for the initial 'cut' I also put masking tape around the circumference of the dash face & sometimes gently take the outer tip of the hole saw teeth off on a bench grinder as some have an aggressive tooth shape, then drill a test hole in a piece of scrap plywood
