I used a 1/4 inch router bit and cut the depth of the plate so it would be flush to the top of my panel. I used contact paper and plexiglass on the top so if I made a little mistake it wouldn't show up. You can see some info on this in my modified control panel page in the modifying the top section.

: Installing a Happ 3.5” Trackball question?

: I have just bought a Happ 3.5” Trackball. This came with a face plate – this is a square metal plate that’s about 2mm thick.

: If I want to install the trackball onto a ¾’ thick wood control panel, how is the trackball face plate installed in?

: Does a grove need to be cut out of the control panel that is the size of face plate down to a depth of 2mm (thickness of the plate)?

: If so, how is the grove cut out (ie what equipment, tools are used).

: OR

: Is the Face plate installed on top of the panel, so that it sticks out above the panel by 2mm.

: Look forward to anyone’s feedback that has installed a Happ track ball with the face plate. Your help would be appreciated.

: Kind Regards
: Dariusz
