The stock shaft (without thread) is 27 mm ~ 1.063 inch.

What extender? Mine is 9 mm in diameter, the same like the stock ones.

Edit: BTW please note the JLW-TM-8 is discontinued. If you bought any recently, it could be an unauthorised copy. Then I cannot guarantee that measures are the same.

Haven't seen it asked yet so I will, why not top mount these on your wood?

Another BYOAC user and friend of mine Jimbo bought some U360s with extended shafts. The diameter of the shafts he bought was larger than the stock ones and I had to make him some new dustwashers to suit. I suppose it depends where the shafts came from.

This is a possibility...I've been spending some time at slagcoin.com this morning studying their mounting designs, and it may be the correct route for me.  I might go the route of the JLF with the s-plate to keep the screws out of sight completely, while still providing a flat surface for the artwork to rest on.  I just don't want my artwork to warp between the wood and the plexi of the CP face.    That said, slagcoin mentions that I should attach to no less than 1/2" wood.  Does anyone know the dimensions of the s-plate?  I'm curious how deep it is.  Also, with an MDO CP, could I go slightly thinner and still have the structural integrity to support the abuse this will likely get?

I mounted the JLW version of these sticks on the top without any screws at all showing, nor would you with artwork. I used FrancoB's excellent top mounting tutorial. I used laminate on my Aliens cab instead of art/plexi but you will get the idea...nothing shows and take a look at how much shaft I have left over the laminate...
