Routing For J-Stick

(1/4) > >>

JoshuaMiller:
I want to place 2 Ultimarc J-sticks into a wooden control panel.  Since these sticks are made for a metal panel, I will need to take special measures.

What I'm planning is to mount them from underneath the CP, but I'm not too sure how thick I need the remaining wood to be after routing.  I want it to be solid, but if I have plexi on top of the wood, I don't want the sticks to be too short above the CP surface.  Will they be too short anyway?

Has anyone done this, or does anyone have any insight?

Thanks-

your panel can not have more how 1cm thickness.

Thanks for the info and link, I searched around on the forum for awhile, but I must have missed that post. 

Anyway, does anyone have an opinion on stick length if this stick is mounted from underneath?  I want the Japanese-style ball sticks, but don't want to wind up with an uncomfortably short stick.

Does anyone sell replacement shafts for Sanwa sticks that might be longer?  I found plenty of them for Happ Sticks, Is this a universal thing?  (I'm assuming not. . . )

Thanks-

kowal:
Sanwa JLF - shaft 34mm+balltop 35mm = 69mm
Sanwa JLW (Euro, USA, Ultimarc version) - shaft 34mm+balltop 35mm = 69mm
Sanwa JLW onlny japan - shaft 27mm +balltop 35mm = 62mm

I can execute handles. I can make on 79mm (shaft 44mm + balltop 35mm). If you will install it in panel 18mm you will be dust 26mm under ball.

JoshuaMiller:
Thanks for all of your help, Kowal.

Are the mounting plates big enough to mount on top of a wooden CP?  It looks like there wouldn't be room for the wire contact points.  Does anyone sell replacement plates that might be bigger?

I'm thinking that the J-stick might be more trouble than it's worth for a wooden CP.  Are the E-sticks from ultimarc any good?

thanks-
