A big drill bit and a round file will do it every time. Draw the 1
inch hole on the metal with a pencil. Start with a small hole in the
middle of the and move up to your biggest drill bit (mine is 5/8
inch). Then use a round metal file to carve out that last bit. Takes
about 20 minutes, but you can really tweak the hole while you're
filing to make it perfect.
