A matching "bevel" the thickness of the mounting plate so that the top of the wood and top of the mounting plate are level/even/flush... *shrug* To Hulkster... I'm confused. Earlier I was referering to needing the router for the t-molding... you can do the 4 way cutout for mounting plate fine with a jigsaw, the only rub, as pointed out correctly earlier, is that you can't totally flush mount/recess it (not the end of the world) Rampy |

You can still end up with a flush panel even if you use a mounting plate. Install the joystick and plate first, then go to home depot (or other hardware store), and find a piece of rubber or plastic that is about the same thickness as your mounting plate. Cover the rest of the panel with this (everywhere EXCEPT the mounting plate). This will give you a flush surface to mount the rest of your controls on. I did this with my Artic Mini mame. I used a Home Depot stair protector ($1.99) to make the panel flat all the way across. And then I used another stair protector for the overlay (those things are great, they are the perfect size to cover most classic control panels, and make great overlays). |

Hulkster, I would hate to have anyone not be able to use a great 4 way like that. Where do you live? I have all the tools one could need. I have cut 4 panels on a Table Saw now. If you want I can do it. And if it is too far, we can ship it... |
