Use a hole saw, much easier. It's around 1" if I remember right, but you'll have to measure.

I remember that when i drilled it I ran out....

I borrowed a bit that was 3/4 and that was still small. It was a -10 AN union BTW. Just goto the store and see what fits. Uni bits are nice but they only work if you dont need any depth.
