Hey guys.

Still thinking of how to design the Z axis.

Had a thought about removing the Head from the Ram and fitting a Z Axis Linear Slide similar to a router Z setup and then re-attaching the Spindle head to the slide.

If I used Alum plate say..30mm together with THK linear slides and kept the Z travel to around 200mm, Would this type of set provide enough rigidity??

Interested to hear your thoughts and advice.

cheers
