Lowes sells Ideal brand hole cutters in 7/8 and 1 1/8 sizes. We have the 7/8 one we use on occasion for prototypes. It works well. I don't recall the exact hole size it comes out with, but in a drill press I recall it being .005 bigger or less. It would be better in a mill. It makes a nice clean round hole that works fine with flanged bearings.
