Best way to enlarge spindle hole in vinyl records


I just completed the setup of my Michell Gyro Se and I have noticed that some of my vinyl records will not fit well with the platter be the spindle hole in the records are too small by a narrow margin. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Try a drill press with a Forestner (sp?) bit. (Different than a twist drill bit, this bit gives a flat bottom in material, not that important here, but usually gives a cleaner cut.) I only recommend this if you have access to an accurate drill press, and understand how to use it well. Start of with a bit that is the same size as the hole, and work your way up in one 1/32" increments. Make sure your bit is very sharp, and you should have no problem.
