Either a hole saw for round or drill a starter hole and use a jigsaw to cut a square

this.

drill a doll just inside the circle wide enough for the jigsaw blade to fit then work your way out.

I’m looking to make a clean round hole. Decent size. Like the size of a small rv sink.

How thick is the piece of wood and how big a square are you cutting? A chisel would cut a square cleaner than a saw, just be sure to cut against the grain first, otherwise it will split.

There are also special tools for cutting squares.

Lmao, on recharge


Edit: just read the op again, you are talking about cutting the center out, like on a wood lathe?
Damn

Something like a drawer handle cutout or a small cutout for an rv small sink
