My CP has a couple of 90 degree angles on it.
I know that t-molding can be "cut" on it's insertable tongue to get it around corners, but I'm probably dreaming if I think I can get it around a perfectly square 90.
What radius should I apply to the corners?
Thanks.
-
I would think a half inch radius would be enough. Would probably look nice, too.
-
I used 30mm radiuses on most of my corners. I expect that is a fair bit more than required tho...I'd say maybe 10mm absolute minumum, go for more if possible.
-
I got my molding around 90 degree corners just fine on my cabinet. But it does take a little practice to get the cut right. On a controller, rounded edges look nicer to me, too, and that'll make your T-molding go on a lot easier.
-
It can bend a 90 perfectly easily, just depends on what look you want. Many arcade cabs had 90' corners.

No, you're not dreaming, its very feasible... :)
Here's what the 90deg corners look like on my upright MAME cab:

Looks great :) At least it should be easy for me to get it around my huge 30mm radius's (ray-dee-eye?) ;D
