I am looking to add a piece of plexi over my control panel.  What size hole saw will I need to drill the holes for normal arcade  buttons?  How about for joysticks?

u_rebelscum:

1 1/8"
Depending on if you bottom mounted, routed bottom mount, or top mount: 1 1/4", depends on how much you routed, and 1 1/8", respectively.  (Assuming normal throw happs like joystick; other sticks might need more or less.)

The_Tyler_Black:

I perfer to use a 1/8th paddle bit. it makes it easier if your doing alot of holes!

And start by drilling the backside out 1/3 of the way or so, then switch to the front and finish.  It keeps the hole smoother.

How do you make sure that it lines up on both sides?
