I did the same thing with my K1. I had to ream the 6mm hole out to
0.25 in. Somewhat tricky. I used a drillpress with a Dremel tool
bit. I like the result. I think the K1 knob is weighted also, but I
like the larger diameter.

Well, maybe smoother tuning is not the best description.
I built my K1 with the 80kHz tuning range option. With time, I
found it was
a little touchy. Not wishing to go to a narrower tuning range, I
sought
another answer.
The solution was a weighted, K2 knob and two felt washers. Given the
limitations of the K1, it's about as good as it gets.
BTW, it is not at all bad cosmetically.
