Cutting sockets in wood

[houstonwehaveaproblem]

Hi

is there a tool to use to do this? Like a box sinker

 

[big-all]

if you mean for a back box not as such
but something like a buzzy toy or jigsaw for one offs assuming through timber rather than into more than 30mm thick timber ??

You could use continential-style sockets that mount in a circular back box/hole eg
