Hi All,
Is there a standard cutout size for the cutout, or do I buy an insert
plate and
size it around that?

Don't think there's a standard size. Perhaps a "more common" size, but in
the end I think you pick the plate you want and that drives the size. I went
with the Rousseau plate. You can buy a template, but I saw a Wood article on
how to use 4 pieces of scrap MDF to make a template. I ended up spending
the template $ on the router bit mentioned in the article. Results were
fine, even for my first attempt.
