What kind of router bit is that? What is that normally called?
From when I watched them do it years ago, it seemed to have a roller or something of some kind on it to keep it from cutting into the framing when they removed the wood for the openings.
You've already gotten some great answers. Sounds like some fellow woodworkers are here too.
If you want to plunge the bit into (and through) the sheet of ply, that's a plunge bit as mentioned. I use a Solid Carbide Spiral Upcut bit, 1/2 shank.
When there's a bearing on the bit, it's a Pattern or Template bit. Bearings come at the bottom of the bit (near the router base) and at the tip. You can choose.
Plunge AND Pattern will take a bit of searching.
Whiteside bits are my personal favorite. I'd head to their website and poke around.
