Routing joy area question

Pages: << < (2/4) > >>

The corners of the joystick plate are rounded, not squared. You won't have to chisel out the corners of your routed material. There's no need to make the hole bigger than the joystick plate.

That depends on how big your bit is. I just did my u360's and I bottom mounted them, I used a 3/4 bit and it required me either to chisel the corners or go bigger. I chose to go slightly bigger since it looked neater and allowed me to make sure my joysticks were straight.

GAtekwriter:

Can anyone who has mounted U360s under comment on the length of the shafts?  Are the standard shafts long enough or should I go with the longer version?

I don't know if these are any help:

I hate short sticks as they feel cumbersome and depending on how you play, make for some knuckle-scraping. I'd go for rough under-panel routing anytime. If you're using MDF, strength shouldn't be an issue as it's toughdown as low as 1/8", particularly if it's just a small area in the middle of an otherwise thick panel.
