I'd personally say router ... follow by jigsaw.

I believe all of them have circle-cutting accessories you can buy at Home Depot or what have you..........and what dremel are you talking about specifically, because they make a wide range of tools.........also, for the router, make sure the depth of the router/bit is larger than the width of the board you're cutting....
