   Band saw: Resaw clear 12/4 lumber (I think that is the right size) to 1/4"+.

   Thickness Sander: Sand both sides to 1/4" (less if you are good).

   Table saw: to proper dimensions (to fit your fixture).

   Router Table: Route opening using fixture.

   Square opening with a corner chisel.

   Router Table: Route exterior profile.

   Finish using the finish materials used in the room.

   Why do you start with 12/4 lumber?  Why not resaw 4/4?

   Switch plates are about 2-3/4" wide. 12/4 finishes about 2-3/4". (measure first)

   You could use 4/4 and rough cut it to 3" wide (12/4) and procede.
