I will be installing a cut-down 4017 Stairset

A "straight" cut: the blade is straight up-and-down
CC14/CutStairHole/CutStairHole-04-lg.jpg
Once the cut is deep, the wood will drag on the blade
CC14/CutStairHole/CutStairHole-06-lg.jpg
... then a "clearing cut" will lift out waste material
CC14/CutStairHole/CutStairHole-07-lg.jpg
Clearing cuts... straight cuts... back and forth
CC14/CutStairHole/CutStairHole-08-lg.jpg
The Clearing Cut removes the material that drags on the blade

As you go deeper, the clearing cuts are wider

Approach the underside more-or-less evenly

Take it gentle as you cut thru... don't break the ceiling
CC14/CutStairHole/CutStairHole-17-lg.jpg
Push the cutout upward to avoid tearing the ceiling

A Double-Cut Coarse file is great for shaping
