There is, but I wouldn't use it for thicker than 1/4" plywood.

a $20 jig saw is a better bet probably not much more $$ than the atachment for the dremel
There is a very thin line between fail and success. It is very thin so, why are you scared???

I used a Dremel circle cutter to cut circles in 1/2" plywood. It works well and was faster than I expected. Just follow the directions and let the speed do the cutting.
