Hi Jones - Great to see this on the move again. Peter

Thanks Peter, I'm enjoying having a project to tinker on in the garage after work again.

Small update - the Z axis ballscrew assembly is now mounted



Looks like ~230mm total Z travel, probably ~210mm after I add limit switches and give it a bit of clearance.

I also sorted out the Spindle mounting:



I originally drilled those holes down the side visible in the image, but later discovered it would interfere with the rails on the other side (this bit was never modelled in CAD). I've since drilled and tapped 6 x M8 holes underneath the spindle mount and I'll cut off the ears with the outer mounting holes.
