Wood – Best tools for woodwork project

woodworking

I'm starting a project where I need to cut a 114mm diameter, 33mm deep hole into a piece of wood. My plan is to keep the circular piece, then to sand it. My question is, what would be the best piece of equipment to use in order to make a clean. straight cut?

This can probably be done with 4.5" hole saw which is pretty close to your dimensions.

I assume what you want is the disk, not the hole.

A circular disk can also be cut with a scroll saw.

Another tool is an adjustable circle cutter or fly cutter of which there are few different types.

A circle can also be cut using a mill (or lathe) with a milling cutter in combination with a rotary table (or divider).
