Can't find Drilling Template for Betson trackball
« on: August 18, 2015, 10:05:46 pm »
Betsons Trackball with a top mounting plate drilling template. 4 holes for the legs for the plate and centered cutout for trackball. I know I have seen it once somewhere and somehow can't find it on Google or here. Can anyone point me into the right direction?
Thank you

The Electric Ice-T is a Betson trackball.

Small correction:  The Electric ICE-T used to be based on the Betson model, but hasn't been for a number of years now.  Betson had a "drought" on their trackballs, which required us to abandoned them.  It's now based on the HAPP model, which was easier to source, better quality, and more standard.

The mounting plate dimensions are the same for either type.

No, not really. What I saw once had a center of the trackball marked for proper 3"cut out in plexi, the 4 legs marked for mounting in wood like it is in the link you provided, but the trackball cut out was more in the shape of betson rather than just a gigantic square I don't want to cut that much material out.
Btw is the template for Happ trackball holder? And also I didn't mention I'm going to mount it recessed under plexi not on top of a panel
Thank you for the reply though!
