--- Quote from: laggerific on June 13, 2010, 03:23:29 am ---How long is the stock JLW-TM shaft? --- End quote --- The stock shaft (without thread) is 27 mm ~ 1.063 inch. --- Quote from: Franco B on June 13, 2010, 06:55:57 am ---Just FYI, IIRC the upper shaft diameter of the extended shafts is larger than the stock ones so your dustwashers will not fit without making the bore larger. --- End quote --- What extender? Mine is 9 mm in diameter, the same like the stock ones. Edit: BTW please note the JLW-TM-8 is discontinued. If you bought any recently, it could be an unauthorised copy. Then I cannot guarantee that measures are the same. |

Haven't seen it asked yet so I will, why not top mount these on your wood? |

The diameter of the shafts he bought was larger than the stock ones and I had to make him some new dustwashers to suit. I suppose it depends where the shafts came from. |

I might go the route of the JLF with the s-plate to keep the screws out of sight completely, while still providing a flat surface for the artwork to rest on. I just don't want my artwork to warp between the wood and the plexi of the CP face. That said, slagcoin mentions that I should attach to no less than 1/2" wood. Does anyone know the dimensions of the s-plate? I'm curious how deep it is. Also, with an MDO CP, could I go slightly thinner and still have the structural integrity to support the abuse this will likely get? |

I used FrancoB's excellent top mounting tutorial. I used laminate on my Aliens cab instead of art/plexi but you will get the idea...nothing shows and take a look at how much shaft I have left over the laminate... |
