Routing joy area question

If you get your overlay laminated, you could probably 'over-route' the area quite a bit without worrying about saggy artwork that leaks.

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.

What do you consider a short stick?
GAtekwriter:
ivwshane,
Thanks for the pictures - they do help, but are those the standard shaft or long versions?
Thanks!
Jim
ivwshane:
They are the standard shafts. Do they look too short to you?

Not really a question of length, but having the 'pivot point' (the point where the shaft sits in the housing) too far below the surface of the panel feels unnatural to me.
