So I tested my method on a scrap piece and thank god I did. The bit I'm using(already had) might be wrong and the first layer of plywood kind of splintered off. Here is what I have, should I pick up a different bit? Is there another way I can do this? I wish I had a drill press. |

Get a forstner bit. Makes a clean hole, just make sure you drill from the top as it might splinter a bit coming out the back |

Also, can I use the 1 1/8" for the joystick too or would that be too big? |

forstner bit is the way to go... itll push out the debris as it cuts, and 1 1/8 is perfect for joys (thats what I did anyhow, with dust washers on top of the CP, but to each his own) |

Does this just float around with the joystick? |
