Thinner MDF will flex and can bow or break if used in a rough environment. It is still only a matter of personal preferrence on if you route or not. -Goz |

Okay, cool. It sounds like I don't really need to do it, which is fine with me. I don't have any router experience so I will just mount them to the wood as is. thanks, everyone! |

You might want to use a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 bit. It makes it easier to center the joystick do it doesn't hit wood on any side. Again, up to you. I used the 1 1/8 bit and didn't have any trouble, but it will be easier with a larger bit. |

I bottom mounted my P360 joysticks by routing my 3/4" MDF probably more than I should have (about 1/2" probably) and it's still EXTREMELY sturdy... (maybe I'm exaggerating, I didn't measure the depth). If I were you I'd route about 1/4" or so. |
