A bandsaw? Seriously, you think OP has the skills to cut a bandsaw blade, put it through the hole, and weld it back together?
I assure you there is no difficulty in cutting 3/4" plywood with a coping saw. I have done it hundreds of times. I frequently cut 1/8" sheet brass into curved shapes with a coping saw, for crying out loud.
Even a jigsaw (electric) is overkill for this one-off job.
Sheesh. OP wants to cut a hole in a piece of plywood. Has zero knowledge or experience in working with hand tools.
A $20 coping saw, a pencil, a piece of string, and another board to stick a thumbtack into to anchor the end of the string. That's what you use in this case. You don't buy a bunch of expensive power tools you don't know how to use. Using a coping saw is obvious by inspection. Push down, pull up, follow the line.
Wait? What? Every job is an excuse to buy a new power tool!
Bucket of popcorn, a case of beer, and a dozen helpful C-D posters.
The hole will be larger. It might not be round, it might have splintered edges, it might require the "board" be removed to the next county for cutting with a bandsaw, but it will be entertaining.
This all reminds me of the incarcerated guy who got his dad's garden tilled by saying there was a body buried there.

And the funniest part is no one knows if the hole needs to be perfectly round or if splintered edges matter. We don't know if the wood in question can be removed and taken into a shop or must be cut in pace. We have no idea what the hole is there for now or will be used for in the future.
No. I don't need a sliding one, and they are just way too big for me, right now. A good single bevel compound is all I need and should do me fine for many years.
