    Z nut upgrade

    Hello

    I am replacing my Z nut with the updated adjustable nut.

    I have the nut but not sure how to face the nut when I install it. Adjustment screws on the nut face to the RT or to the Left when looking from the front of the mill.

    Any pics of the installed would be nice,

    Thanks
    Rick
