Pots with with round or D shafts require knobs with plain holes that if not push fit, have set screws to hold them in place. Most spline shaft pots have a slightly smaller diameter shaft than round or D shaft. Usually splines are 6mm while most round ones are 1/4" (6.35mm). So 1/4" setscrew knobs will end up slightly lopsided when tightened onto a 6mm spline shaft. Knobs fastened by a collet require a box spanner to fasten them.<ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54215&sid=0c1a5b9d1c9d353c1a8e025489dcf6ac knurled vs round shaft pots], Muff Wiggler forum, March 2012</ref><ref>Wikipedia: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_knob Control knob]</ref> == Knobs in common use == Line 18 ⟶ 19: [[BugBrand]], [[Analogue Systems]] and [[Metasonix]] use Re'an Soft-Touch 16 mm skirt knobs for 6mm T18 shafts, however these are no longer manufactured.<ref name="p300">https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32814 Rean P300's are bags of win for Doepfer], Muff Wiggler forum, Apr 2011</ref><ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5107 eurorack widths of panels?], Muff Wiggler forum, May 2009</ref><ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=375465 resolved], Muff Wiggler forum, Jan 2011</ref> [[Cwejman]] and [[Intellijel]] use knobs manufactured by Sifam with separate coloured caps.<ref>[https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/intellijel-style-knobs/ Intellijel Knobs], Thonk - DIY Synthesizer Kits & Components</ref> ~~[[Doepfer]], [[TipTop]] and [[Plan B]] use 16mm wide knobs on 6mm T18 shafts.<ref name="p300"/>~~ <!-- ▼ [[Doepfer]], [[TipTop]] and [[Plan B]] use 16mm wide knobs on 6mm T18 shafts.<ref name="p300"/> TipTop are Eagle 450-4010<ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19030 TipTop knobs... what brand are they?], Muff Wiggler forum, Jul 2010</ref> ▲<!-- See also threads https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34644&start=all&postdays=0&postorder=asc https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96058&start=all&postdays=0&postorder=asc https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58927&start=all&postdays=0&postorder=asc Line 35 ⟶ 38: Bridechamber, [http://bridechamber.com/Knobs.html Knobs] === Serge === [[Serge]] use the Davies ~~1900-H~~1900H knob.<ref>[https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5107 eurorack widths of panels?], Muff Wiggler forum, May 2009</ref> <!-- == Illuminated knobs == --> Line 45 ⟶ 48: [http://mutable-instruments.net/forum/discussion/1107/the-good-knob-and-pots-encoders-thread/p1 The Good Knob (and Pots + Encoders) Thread], Mutable Instruments forum, February 2012 * [http://www.soundonsound.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=903115&page=0&view=&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1 Retro Knob Suppliers], SOS forum, 23 March 2011 * [https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57564&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Knob Shopping (& pot questions)], Muff Wiggler forum, April 2012 * [https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=126678&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= How close together is too close to place knobs?], Muff Wiggler forum, December 2014 === Suppliers ===
