A jewelers saw works very well. Finish edges with the drum sander as Steve
suggested.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Hole cutting
By hand method: draw the holes as you want them with a compass on a piece of
paper. Glue the paper to the dash with contact cement or spray glue.
Take a small drill and drill a series of holes inside of the circles as
close together as you can get them. Maybe a 3/32" drill with 1/16" between
the holes. Take wire cutters and cut the gaps between the holes, removing
the nasty, jagged center disc which looks like a ninja throwing star.
Take a half round file or "barrel" sanding drum and file/sand the openings
outward until the instruments fit.
