Punching holes in metal CP

Is a 1-1/4" punch too big for buttons. I know it should be 1-1/8" but I can get a 1-1/4" alot easier. Thanks for any help. Also if anyone knows where to get a 1-1/8" punch reasonably priced let me know.

I just bought a 1.12" Greenlee punch at Lowe's for @ $40.  I'm note sure if I'm going to use it or not, though...might be willing to part with it for say $30 ( + shipping) .  I need to give my next project some more thought and design time first.  Call dibs if you want it when I'm done.  :)

BTW, 1.12" is just enough room for buttons.   (1/8 = .125)

I got mine cheaply on Ebay.  If we are talking happs horizontal pushbutton then a 1.25" punch may be cutting it a bit close.  The bezel on those buttons is 1.30".

Ummmm...if you cut a 1.30" hole then the button will fall right through the hole...
