I used a 19mm (3/4" in your language) straight cutter. It will cut the correct radius. Use the main plate to mark the main cut-out then mark an inner cut-out 3/4" from the main cutout. Cut the inner out with a jig-saw then rout the main cutout. I clamped a ProGrip bar around the cutout giving me a router guide.
I reckon you could download the instructions from the JessEm web site or ask them to send it to you.
