I've got a plastic knob whose inner diameter is too small to fit the shaft of the potentiometer i want to use.
Is it possible to increase the knob inner diameter by drill the hole wider with the appropriate sized bit? Or instead, use a dremel with a sanding pad fitting on the lateral surfaces of the dremel tip to sand the existing hole to be wider? Is one method more fool-proof than the other? Is there a third option I should consider?
The knob is designed so that there is solid material all around the existing hole vs the hole just being a flanged design surrounded by empty space, so theoretically the knob should be able to withstand some drilling/dremeling without instant collapse.
