I'm looking for a good solution for adding a Z axis to my Torchmate 2 8020 table to do some light routing. I know that Torchmate offers a routing package and I'm considering it, I just wanted to see what all is available and what works better than the the next thing and why.

I currently have the AVHC height control for the plasma and the plate marker so I have the 110v relay setup to control a router, so I'm thinking I would just need a Z axis with a router attachment.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here's some progress I've made, I went with Velox CNC for the Z Axis it there 8 inch travel with the fast start acme screw and a nema 23 stepper mount.
Having the AVHC and plate marker on the existing cassette it was getting crowded and heavy so I added another cassette for the router.
I just need to tie the two together and since I still need to make a stepper mount to change the y axis to a gearhead I'll tie the two together with that new mount.
