| Sanwa/Seimitsu Push Buttons? |
| (1/1) |
| lettuce:
Are any Sanwa/Seimitsu push buttons designed for (or have a shaft long enough) to work with a wooden CP, as i notice alot of them are designed fot a metal CP and just clip in place rather than screw with a plastic nut? |

Not sure, but if not, either route out the section underneath where your buttons are or use some kind of bonding agent and just jam them in the holes! |

There are screw in sanwa/seimitsu buttons. They dont have nearly the same thread length as happ, so if you're using thick MDF you might still have to route the underside some. If you have a plexi top on your CP though, the buttons will clip right in to the plexi. That is how my CP is set up. Go to http://www.lizardlick.com if you're looking for Sanwa stuff |

Even though the Sanwa/Seimitsu buttons have nuts they are still rather short. I use 1/2" MDF and 1/8" plexi and still have to drill out space for them. I use a 1/8" drill bit for a pilot hole. Then use a 30mm forsner bit on the top and a 1 1/2" forsner bit on the bottom. I only drill halfway through with the forstner bits and meet in the middle. You could also use two 1/4" MDF boards in a sandwich, one has the holes for the buttons and the other has a larger hole so you can screw on the nuts. Here is a pic of my 1/2" MDF board. It is a little hard to see but you can see the recesses for the buttons on the left side. |
