If you drop by my place I can do it for you. Take about 30 seconds. I'm in Canyon Meadows.
Or if you want to do it yourself, the best bits can be bought at Rona for $20 for 1 1/4" size.

As my wife informed me that there will be other projects in the future I decided to go buy one.

Princess Auto was sold out of the singles.

I ended up getting one at Home depot.

Thanks for the offer Dave.

Cheers.

Yes well there are also $10 3/8th's drive ratchets sold at the dollar store that look the same as a $100 Snap On wrench. Do you really think they're the same?

I go through these bits by the dozens...the quantity of diamonds as well as the quality of them in those cheap bits are quite a bit different than the more expensive bits. The $5 one might do you a few holes...but if you tried through a heavy, full bodied porcelain, it wouldn't cut near as quick, nor last near as long as the more expensive ones.

For a DIY'er and one hole..they will probably work. I just don't bother with them, as I've literally seen them melt away on one hole.

Glad the OP was able to find one.
