    For an easy and cost-effective screw drive setup, check out some parts I have for sale at www.cncrouterparts.com. All you need is a piece of 1530 extrusion, a drive screw and some bearings (part numbers noted on the site) and you can build your own low-cost axis. PM me if you're interested.

    Thanks,

    Ahren
