Trying to think of a way to clean out those corners in a circular way.
I would use the 2x4 backstop to limit how far I could push the "cross" into the bit, and then the right 2x4 as a guide to run along.
It just feels like -pardon the pun - all hell's gonna break loose though.
Having a day where i cant think of an easier solution.
Thoughts are appreciated.

You could go back in time and drill the corners before you cut out the cross. You could drill them now with a larger bit. Your approach with the router sounds fine though as long as your fences are set right.

I think using a SS push block to put some down pressure on the piece as you feed it might make the operation feel more secure, and the block should keep the fingers far enough away just in case something goes awry. Or you could try wrapping sandpaper around a dowel of the right radius and do it the slow way.

Re: This dont feel right..
I found a way I was more comfortable with using the overhead router mode on the SS.

Flush trim bit with a bearing and template. Easy peasy and will feel right!

Yep, I was going to recommend plunging. It has the added benefit of minimizing tearout, as the wood being cut is always supported by the wood remaining immediately beneath it. Although I was assuming that you’d have to do it with your router lift.

Router bits(SSvariety) make very clean plunge cut holes.
