    Here is a 3D of the Z axis setup. This pdf is 3d so if you double click the image you can have a more detailed look at the design.

    Tony,

    You have inspired me to switch back to my KR mill project and get at least the X and Y axis operating. My Honda S600 project has progressed well in the last few months but I am ready for a change again.

    Okay its all working, milled a couple of more parts for the Z axis, I want to add the limit switches as well as beaf it up a bit. I had to do a couple of parts a bit rough due to my mill problem. Now I have the new one working I can replace some bits I am not happy with. I am more then happen the unit is brilliant.
    Have a few more jobs to do to tidy it up but its all good.

    Final Z axis with braces.

    I redid the Z axis support plates so it was stronger. Also installed limit switchs. I am using proximity sensors instead of micro switchs, it might be the wrong thing but I figured I would give it a go. Here are a couple of photos.
    Have a great day.
