| Question on trackball hole size |

| Heinekenator:
Hello. I'm building my first control panel, and I have a question about the hole size for a trackball. The top of the CP is 3/4" MDF, with a sheet of 0.193" thick GE Crystallite (lexan?) on top. I bought a 3" Happs trackball. I plan to route the top of the MDF out to flushmount the trackball mounting plate. My problem is that I don't know what size hole to drill through the lexan to accommodate the ball. Any insight? Thanks in advance. I'm new to this hobby and am loving it. ;D -Greg |

I don't use Lexan on my CPs so maybe I'm missing something. You'd just cut the hole in the Lexan the same size as the hole in the mounting plate wouldn't you? -S |

Well if you got a 3" trackball, get a 3" hole saw.... that worked for me ... |

Did you buy the "high-lip" trackball? If not, you probably won't like the finished results with the plexi over the top. |

That works great for a 3" trackball, but how do you handle a 2 1/4"? |
