My suggestion comes from advice given by others and that is the use of a
step drill. Admitted they aren't cheap, but I believe you will find
them to be very useful in the building process. I found them to be
especially useful when drilling stainless. Nor

I used a drill first, go slow speed with pressure add lube if you like
with cutting oil. Then use the appropriate hole knock out punch. Much
cleaner. SS is difficult to cut. One inch will probably be OK if your
careful and have a good quality hole saw with metal cutting type teeth.
Don’t go fast or you will burn up the teeth and or bit. What make a nice
clean hole if you don’t want or have the hole punch is a step drill. You
can find them in and sizes. Good luck. OH be careful of what's on the
other side of the firewall. Sounds simple I know.

Agreed, these are invaluable tools in the building process. In fact, just bought another today that goes up to 1 1/8"
