Installing faucet shank question

I am planning to install a shank through the door in my kegerator this weekend. They recommend using a 7/8 inch hole saw. Do you guys think it would be good with a 1 inch hole saw? Or will it leave too big of a hole and not secure tightly? I have a 1 inch and wondering if I need to purchase the 7/8 for the 1/8 difference....

 

I've used both. The 1 inch will work fine but the fit is kind of sloppy.

 

I'd use 7/8" because that 1/8" can really make a difference. I used a cheap spade bit and was okay but then again, that was on wood. I would suppose the hole saw is more important. Perhaps you can ask around and borrow one.

 

I used the 7/8. Its a perfectly snug fit.

 

Relax. Get the right size. Don't get over anxious and ruin your DIY. Every time that faucet slides around, you'll get pissed off that you didn't have enough patience...

 

I'm definitely going to get the 7/8! I know a sloppy fit would just make me wish I would have got the 7/8.

 

Harbor freight sells a cheap set of hole bits. Like others said, use the right size. Heck, use smaller than 7/8" if you can swing it. Extra gap doesn't give you anything.

 

The Home Depot by me sells individual hole saws. Its a lot cheaper than a $50 set.

 

The Harbor Freight set of 13 is $9.29 http://www.harborfreight.com/13-piece-spade-set-93723.html

Or you can buy an individual spade bit at Home Depot for like $5.
