    Got an extra z axis what can I do with it?

    Hey I upgraded my vcon bearing system to lineral rail. I have a complete large zaxis used one time. Any market for something like that or is it scrap heap time? Kinda hate it but only ran 1 project through it before the upgrade came out.

    Anybody done anything with their old stuff?

    I've had mine up for sale for well over a month at firesale prices... currently below 300 and not a bite... Hope you have better luck.

    Here lie the remains of a X & Y linear rail upgrade. All packed away in a coffin (box) ready for future use; cnc lathe etc.

    My parts were never used. I bought the upgrade before first assembly. I may try listing my parts on eBay.
