Press Fit

I had a few questions about press fitting, Specifically bearing's. Lets say I want to press fit a bearing into and 1/8" plate, the bearing's OD is 5/8. Do I drill a 5/8" hole? Because we tried that this year and we needed epoxy to keep it in place. Next question, Can you press fit into 0.09" sheet? or is that to slim? Any information is very appreciated!
