| Mounting a U360 in Plywood - How deep? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| javeryh:
I'm about to route out the underside of my CP. It is 3/4" plywood and there will be 1/8" plexi on top to account for. I have the longer shafts for the joysticks but I'm still not sure how deep to go. Also, any ideas on how to mount them WITHOUT anything showing through to the top other than the stick? Thanks! :cheers: |

I would leave atleast 1/2" of wood for mounting and use T-nuts if you plan to cover it with something. :cheers: |

Define "awesome"? In practicality, they sound like a great idea. I didn't use these in particular, but Home depot's version... They were nearly impossible to get inserted right... I did a LOT of guess and check work on a scrap piece of wood... like 7 different bits, including pre-drill hole techniques, experimenting with different sized bits for both drilling and pre-drilling, varying depth, etc. At the end of it, the joysticks are all in and mounted, but these nuts made things veeeeeery difficult. I think the end result is better than carriage bolts, but i'd for sure recommend going with a t-nut under a cpo rather than using invisible hardware... About the only thing i could possibly have done different, would be to use a drill press (something I don't currently have available)... |

I decided to leave 3/8". I'm going to use VERY short screws and then a wood block on top that overhangs the recessed hole that I can screw into the 3/4" plywood... if that makes any sense. |
