What is T-Molding?
T-molding is the decorative plastic trim, which resides on the outer edge of arcade cabinets and many other products. What width T-molding does my arcade cabinet require? Typical standard size game cabinets require a 3/4″ plastic t-molding. However, some game manufacturers require a slightly smaller width, such as 5/8″ or 9/16″. I advise you to measure the width of your cabinet before ordering, just to be on the safe side. 1/2″ = 12.700mm 9/16″ = 14.288mm 5/8″ = 15.875mm 11/16″ = 17.462mm 3/4″ = 19.050mm 13/16″ = 20.368mm 7/8″ = 22.225mm 1″ = 25.400mm 1.5″ = 38.100mm How much T-molding do I need for my upright / cocktail cabinet? Standard cocktail tables require 10′-12′. Standard uprights require 20′ (10′ per side). However, be advised that some games machines have t-molding that runs all the way behind the cabinet. Those games require a total of 32′ (or 16′ per side). The best way to know for sure is to take a quick measurement. What colours does T-molding come in? It is available in

T-molding on arcade games is usually installed on the edges of each side and usually protrudes slightly at the front. The t-molding is not flush with the material of the machine. This prevents wear and tear to the wood of the machine. A simple black t-molding is most commonly used, but many games and machines have t-molding of various colors. Many customize the colors used in order to match the machine color. T-molding can sometimes be made in chrome.
