Another tip:
Use masking or gaffers tape (not duct tape, too much icky residue) to cover the area you're cutting. This along with a back board as previously suggested should minimize fraying/splintering.
Test the tape on an inconspicuous area first, though. Some of those finishes can be pulled off with it.
The hole saw should be straight and true, particularly the center shaft/drill bit.

Roll tape
Yeah, I picked up some wide masking tape Saturday night for the task.
I'm thinking best bet's going to be pulling the units apart, getting the panelling on top of a good bit of scrap wood, and punching through that. With some scrap panelling to test on first.
That, and replacing the saw with a straight-shafted one.
Makita looks like they're having a pretty good year....

Last I saw, she was doing a bit part ...
... in some lumbering action flick. That's the problem with the whole Hollywood machine. It'll chew you up and spit you out.

'Nother bit story
Especially for thin, splinterable materials - as multiple thin-plies:
Forstner bits ie. those with this bit shape:
|\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd|
~v~
with a small point and sharp outer edges, also with a narrow cutting 'vee'.
Natch it's also great for blind holes, as for a peg. Dunno about 2" dia. ones, but some flat bits with this shape come in pretty large dia. - needing pretty slow speeds to swing that large radius. I'm not sure how well these compensate for the awful physical composition of particle board though (?)
In normal wood these produce the cleanest holes I've seen. They are also difficult to resharpen, so best reserved for quality work. The flat ones are easier to sharpen, if you have assorted round-ish stones and some patience.
Cheers,
Ashton
