Boolean (modifier) is the āautomaticā way, but sometimes it gets confused. In that case you can first boolean and then fix problem areas manually.
Thanks, I will have to read up on that , not used it before , still learning .
Thank you too for your useful information Kriceā¦ Helped meā¦
Edmund, if you can avoid booleans they are pretty messy.
There are several ways to do that, have a look at these tutorials:

If the object has a flat surface, this is what you can do.
First, subdivide the object at least 5 times. Next, highlight a section of the mesh you are planing to cut out, bring the cursor to the selection, and delete them. Highlight the cavity that you created, bring the cursor to the selection, and in Mesh Tools, press the To Sphere button and press ok. Thereās the hole where you can do any thing you want to it.
Quick and dirty method: delete a face, add Subsurf!
