Well i had my whole CP top cutout, routed and pretty, and when i cut the clot for the t-molding, i had the damn CP on the wrong side.
You have to adjust the router height so the t-molding sits flush with the acrylic. Well i cut it with the sticks being on the right side instead of the left....and i couldnt redo or the slot would have been too big....had to scrap the whole thing.
So don't feel bad.....we all F'up man......just rebound and keep going....

Yep getting that offset right can be a little trciky, I'm hoping to recreate MCSE's mistake/feature by having the lexan protrude a little from the top of the T-Molding to get that nice thin little edge-lit effect from the buttons lighting up. If I use 1/8" plastic it shold leave 1/16 - 3/32 of exposed acrylic just above the edge.
Another thing I thought about during our dust-washer discussion...
For those people who under-mount the sticks and have their 1"1/8 hole coming through the wood - you could wrap some LED ribbon inside the edges of the hole in the wood and then put a thin white/translucent dust washer over it then mask that with art and acrylic on top. This way you would get a really nice lit area around the base of your stick. You could do it RGB and run it to your PAC64 to be extra fancy.

You can use the Happ mount as a router template if you get a top-bearing dado cleanout bit...which is what I use. It's more flexible in some instances..
I did this on The Blue Pill, too. Cut the football out without even thinking about plexi (my first cab)...but, luckily, I had a Bosch top-bearing 3/4" bit and I just used the happ mount as the router template. Just be steady with the router...hitting that steel plate would not be fun!
edit: just found this on Amazon...mine's very similar, except mine's 3/4" cut with a 1/4" shank...

yeah I have a top and bottom bearing flush trim that I could use so I should be good there, didn't even think of using the plate, duhhhhhh, coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Thanks for the template man, it made installing the trackball a breeze :notworthy:
