robotfunk Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I'm just wondering when deciding the measures of holes for faders and pots, etc, say for a 6mm bus pot, what size hole would I make? I'd imagine it would be wise to make it slightly larger, say 1 extra mm. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Youre just right. But more facts are playing a role here. For just single pots I would put an plus of 0,5-1mm.For a (lets say) 16 row of pots soldered to a PCB I would put an extra of 1,5 to 2mm perhaps... just that every single one really fits in there.For screws and so on 0,5mm is enough.

goyousalukis Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Just a note from my experience: grab a scrap piece of wood or metal and drill some test holes to decide how tight you want your pots to fit in the holes. This will also help you decide on the spacing for the pots.Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
