You may want to look into an adapter which would allow people to install your spinner into an already drilled hole or space that's not 11/16". I for one already have a custom spinner on my panel (which uses a 1 1/8 inch hole to mount), but left room for another to be added at some point in the future, in the form of a 1 1/8 hole (which is currently filled with a button).
I'd suggest a plate of some sort that would go onto the UNDERSIDE of the panel, and screw into the wood. You may also check into making the plate adjustable along the shaft to accomodate different CP thicknesses (my stand alone is 3/4 pine, but my cabinet panel is 5/8 MDF). This may prove difficult, but it would make for a much more marketable product.
