The hole in my new sink is slightly too small and I need to file a small semicircle about 3mm on the edge of the hole for one of the tap bolts. Anyone know how to do this?

Something diamond ish for sure.
You need a small grinding wheel I'd say with diamiond in it - maybe tungsten carbide works too.
IIRC its a ceramic sink?
Dremel with a diamond wheel? Or an abrasive tile saw? Or one of those abrasive tile files?

have you considered filing the 'spigot' off the tap instead? could be easier...

It's not easy, believe me. You'll probably end up screwing the sink in the process. I speak from experience..ha ha.
Tsk! the things people do to get their rocks off.
I presume that the other tap fits? take the taps or the sink back as being faulty. you'll be there forever and a day trying to widen it.
A hacksaw / coping saw with a tile blade in?
