    Default Dimensions of brass knob.

    The proprietor can be a real pain at times, and refuses to give me the dimensions of a knob he sells.
    can anyone please help out? I would buy one to try, but he has a $45 minimum order.
    i am particularly interested in the dimensions of the cylindrical stem in the centre

    Does anyone know of an alternative supplier?

    What other dimensions do you need apart from the 10mm diameter ?

    Have attached a sketch showing what I need, thanks
    I plan to use it as part of a sliding switch that fits in the front of a box, if it is suitable

    sounds like you really need to find someone with a backyard lathe and a bit of brass bright bar?

    WOW !! Thanks Picko,what a generous offer, and what a great forum.
    Will take a couple of weeks to finalise the design. I was going to design the box around the knob on sale, but now I can design the knob to suit the box.
    Are you able to put a thread in the stem, say 4mm diameter , or is that really looking a gift horse in the mouth
    Happy to pay for all expenses involved

    Yeah, thread's no problem, just let me know when you finalise the details.
    EDIT: It would be easier for me if you can work around the diameter being ~9.4 because I just checked my stash, and what I thought was 10Ø bar measures 9.42mm.
