I realize you should use 1-1/8 bit, but instead of buying one, can I use 1-1/4? its like 1/8 inch difference, shouldnt cause any problems...does anyone know?
SirPeale:
Yes, it's too big. Don't do it.
IMMark:
I agree...don't do it
You can get a 1 1/8" spade bit, very inexpensive, or a entire set for $5.
When you use them, drill from both sides to prevent blowout.
Drill from front until, the point breaks through, then finish from the back side. A hole saw gives a better cut, and is more expensive. But if you use a spade from both sides, results are more than addequate. :)

Alrighty Ill look for a spade bit.
