If you want neat and round, a scroll saw might not be the best way to
get there. Someone already suggested a circle/wheel cutter for a
drill press. I also have had great success using a circle cutting jig
with a router. Jasper makes an excellent one, seen here...

They were originally designed for making cutouts for speakers, and
they do that excellently. Just be sure that the pivot pin is pushed
far enough in when you're making really small circles. If the collet
hits it bad things can happen.
