Hi:

I myself would not think of cutting the shaft of the encoder for fear of
getting metal particles into the bearings...

Jerry, wa2dkg
K2 #2549
 
I just mounted one of those really cool FT-100 knobs
on my K2, but noticed that the whole thing seems to
protrude a bit far out from an aesthetic standpoint.
 
Question: What has experience dictated to be the best
way to trim - I'm thinking about 1/8" - from the optical
encoder shaft?  Again, I'm thinking hacksaw, but I'd like 
some suggestions before I go sawbones on my rig.
 
By the way, I really think Wayne and Eric should make
that knob or something like it Standard Issue for the K2.
It definitely gives you that "big rig" tuning feel when you 
have a knob with some inertia...
 
Thanks and 73,
