Cutting plastic - always fun

I'm hoping to cut a hole out of my single din empty tray under the radio for the RLTC digi adjuster - it's exactly the same height as the tray.

 

So a view from above of the tray would be something like... [edit that didn't work - stars fill empty space and try again!]

Has anyone done this and what's the best tools given that I have very few?

 

Cheers,

whenever im cutting plastic, first of all i score resonably deeply with a knife and ruler, then to be honest rather then cut (because that can cause that white plastic effect) i heat up a knife and just run it down the scored line, like a knife through butter.

 

someone may have a better way tough and depends on the plastic and size of cut :)

Right!

 

Apologies for the diagram before - it looked good in the preview box!

 

Tried again...

 

Scoring is a good idea that I prob would have overlooked so that's a definite start!!!

 

I've never owned or used a dremmel - worth getting one?
