What shaft size are regular API knobs designed for. I bought some from here:

and they clearly state they are 6mm shaft types. When I get them I discover the plain shaft pots I have are all quarter inch and so the knobs don't fit. I bought a brand new quarter inch drill but drilling out that extra bit proved extraordinarily difficult to keep square. I now have a couple of wonky knobs so it looks like this is not a viable solution. The annoying thing is the knobs look really good when fitted (apart from being wonky) so I am very reluctant to change them.
What I really need is a source of API knobs with quarter inch shaft holes.
Cheers
