Let me ask, why do you need a press fit anyhow? In FRC, they're often more trouble than they're worth. Just make a good close slip fit and use part geometry to keep everything in place (flanges, shoulders, counterbores, snap rings, etc).

to elaborate on sanddrag's post for a press fit it is a pretty simple process....look at this chart:

You select a drill size two sizes smaller than your desired hole size, go one step up to ream out the hole, and then press it on
for example: if I want to press onto a 0.250" shaft, I would go down two steps to a size D drill (0.2460"), then ream out the hole one with one size larger (0.2480"), then press....and you are done
