: Well, first off, I am a year behind in making my cabinet. Just started again and this is the first time I have been back on this site. Nice to see that it is still as active as ever.
: Since this is the first time I had a chance to continue my cabinet, this is the first time I mounted my trackball. The trackball works great out of the CP. As soon as I place the face plate and carriage bolts in place and tighten the nuts, the ball becomes wedged. The X Axis works a little with some resistance, the Y Axis is wedged. I paid a lot of money for this lighted trackball and would like it to function correctly. Its my fault that I didn't touch it in a year so I can't gripe if they won't replace it.
: Please, if anyone has any advice. Maybe I am mounting it wrong.
: Thanks in advance.

Don't tighten the nuts all the way. Tighten them just until your trackball spins smoothly and doesn't "rattle" around.
