Basically , corner cab – one side will be the side of the house.
I am thinking about hanging the cabs and access thr vent cap RO from outside.
From there, if a 10″ hole saw existed, I was planninng to cut from outside the house in the vent cap RO.
Does such a beast exist.

that is going to take a serious drill motor... an arm breaker at least...
use a sawzall and a pattern blade...

The cleanest cut will be using a router and hole template. Use a spiral up/down bit if both sides need to be chip-free. Careful work with a good jigsaw with a finishing blade will get you to 98% of what the router can do, and faster.Bill

You'd need to be four hundred pounds with arms bigger'n my thighs to drive a tool like that. Motor would be real heavy and geared way down
bosch jigsaw is what you want

Bosch jigsaw with a circle dutting attachment would be better.
"I cut this piece four times and it's still too short."
One must make do with what one has. Didn't have a drill, but did have a 1911.
No disrespect intended to those what use the proper technique.
Ah, yes, the Bitterroot Level. Here in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, the well known method for determining the center of chimney pipe: Rest stock of .22 rifle on woodstove, get 2' level, plumb rifle barrel, fire.
Try a roto-zip with the circle cutting atachment. If you don't own one it's probably cheaper then a 10" hole saw and has more uses.
Headstong, I'll take on anyone!
Think a 12 ga. Mossburg @ 15 feet will give a nice round hole, but I would shot from the inside out. Lot less $$ then any of the above efforts, & hopefully your not in an Urban setting.
I've never told anyone this because it's soooo stupid, but when I was young and sooo stupid I wanted to run some TV wiring from the basement (dirt floor). You guessed it, I capped off a .45 from the first floor into the basement, voila, a perfect hole.
Had a buddy that used to install many a wood burning stove, did my apprenticeship with the guy, he was the master with the 12ga when it came to running stove pipe. Always a clean hole.
What kind of choke, shot weight and distance for a 10" hole? Sounds pretty expedient.
Polly choke always works in any situation, 12ga single ought buck for roofs with 1/2" ply & single layer of roofing (newer construction) . On the older homes or ones with many layers of shingles, is when Bertha would take over, 10 gauge with Triple Ought Buck!
Like Norm says @ the begginning of each show, "Don't forget the Eye & Ear Protection!"
Do you get a lot of tearout, or a reasonably round hole?
Hole would be clean in the ply-wood, sometimes the shingles would look pretty ulgy, been 25+ years since I work with the guy.
needed a hole in the fire wall of the Dodge to run wires....
couldn't get there from here....
used a .22 w/ a block of wood on the other side...
buddy saw this and said cool...
did it to his....
but with a .45........
and no wood......
so much fer that carb and radiator.............Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

Hey, I can see the guys that usually inhabit this site scratching their head and mumbling something about leaving the doors unlocked and not controlling what comes in
If I'm understanding this correctly, you want to install a plywood cabinet covering an existing circular RO in the wall, and cut a 10" diameter hole in the cabinet concentric with the RO. To cut it from the outside with the cabinet permanently installed would be doing it the hard way.
Instead, temporarily prop, wedge, clamp, whatever, the cabinet in its final position. Go outside with a pencil, and mark through the RO onto the cabinet. Lay the cabinet down flat, measure and mark the center of your circle, and do it with the guided router or jigsaw.
