Slagcoin shows a layering method here that you could achieve without a router. Scott |

undermounted in a recessed area to raise the height of the stick, bolted in from bottom into flush mounted T-nuts spend $40, get a cheap router and bits from harbor freight.. they are not great for big jobs, but more than enough for recessing joyticks and routing tmolding slots. http://www.harborfreight.com/1-4-quarter-inch-trim-router-44914.html#.UyC_E_ldUU4 http://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-m2-hss-router-bit-set-43695.html#.UyDIUPldUU4 |

I undermounted my joysticks and regretted it. But the other day I put some washers on the joystick shaft to eat up some of the real estate of the threads, and that $0.10 idea really saved me from cutting a new panel. |
