Is it a drill bit or not? The dremel doesn't have enough torque, and it also spins too fast to use as a replacement drill. .......I think your talking about a hole saw.
If it is, then no. If you want to tap a 1/2" barb than you have to make the hole a bit smaller than the diameter, because the threads need material to bite into. Also, barb fittings don't use standard threads. They use NPT threads, so you have to get proper taps. It might be easier for you to solder it in place.
