If it's a powered axle in bearings, you'll need to bore press fit holes large enough for the bearing outer diameter. If you're using a dead axle and you're not intent on being too precise (which seems to be the case), you ought to be fine by drilling out the hole with a drill bit the same diameter as your axle and then opening it up slowly by hand using a deburring tool or the like.
