You're going to need a mill and a boring head (top left). You could run a boring head in a drill press, but you'd have no way of accurately locating the hole in the part. I suppose a drill press with x-y table would work. I would much rather use a reamer or some other means-boring is a much more involved process that is going to take awhile to setup and run.

It's possible you could use an annular cutter or a hole saw if you were willing to live with a loose bearing fit. The annular cutter is probably going to do a better job. You could also buy an end mill in the size you want, which would do a pretty good job. That would run you about 60 bucks for a 1.125".
