Final Lap racing cab - M2/MAME

<< < (2/2)

Eh crts are over.  As soon as mame got hlsl support to simulate a crt screen, I ran out of excuses to hold on to them.  Mind you if the cab already has a working one that's one thing, but paying to put one in... eh ... it's not worth it anymore.  Shoot even stuff like model 2 has sweetfx.  Keep in mind this is coming from someone who 10 years ago would have found putting a lcd in a cab unforgivable. 

In regards to what you asked....It should, but remember that's just the cutting wheel... you still have to buy a shank. 

Pro Tip:  t-molding.com obviously is just re-selling slot cutters found elsewhere so you'll pay a premium from them.  Write down the specs and then search online for a better price.

I live in Norway, so the price on the item itself is not so important, because I have to pay 25% import VAT and maybe 40$ in shipping, and more. Unfortunately I can not find the correct cutter in the local shops where I live.

I've just had a google for a good side art pic but couldn't find anything  :(. I don't suppose you've still got the old one you pulled off have you? With a good hi-res picture of that and good paint/vector application you could bring it back to life :)

Its cool! I put a 19inch screen in my mame cab because I had a 19inch 4:3 LCD monitor spare (so it was the cheap option). I would have gone larger if I could. If you find your screen is a little too big, you could always reduce the screen size of the games slightly in mame  :)

I had the same problem finding the right routing bit in the UK. In the end I bought my cutter, arbor and bearing, from axminster (www.axminster.co.uk). Its been about 3 years since I bought these bits, but I think they cost me a total of £50. It seemed quite expensive at the time...
These are the part numbers of what I bought, hopefully you might be able to google search these and find somewhere near you that has them or something similar:-
CMT Arbor 824064 (Shank (S): 1/4")
Axcaliber Bearing 666247
CMT Three Wing Slot Cutters 822316  (1.6mm cut width)

I've attached a picture of my Cutter, arbor and bearing. Let me know if you need more measurements.
Just thought, it might be worth having a look (or posting a question) on the "woodworking" section on this site, as this subject comes up from time to time.

Hope this helps!

I've ordered now from GroovyGameGear, because the one from the other arcade shop was cutting to deep I think (1/2)".

I've got the router bit, but It wouldn't fit my European routers chuck "6 mm", so I went to a key smith to grind of about 0,3 mm, after this it would fit and it was cutting the wood like butter.
