    feedback on a Z axis kit for a knee mill and mill drill

    Hey group
    I need to get your feedback on a Z axis kit for a knee mill and mill drill I want to offer to the masses -
    It would be comprised of the following:
    All material made of X alloy cut over sized on length to custom fit to A,B,C mill head to be machined by end user
    All fasteners supplied as well as taps for them
    A pre tapped block of material X for ball screw machined to diameter of quill with proper spacing to clear head castings etc.
    Spacer material for head bolts with tap and drill
    bearings for ball screw
    ball screw and nut
    Detailed prints with recommendation on sizes for import like mill or bridgeport

    and a possible price tag of $600.00

    I also want to offer the same thing for a round column mill drill

    Tell me what you think

    Hello,

    I would check the US patent web site for quill drive patents. There are several listed there. No one wants to get a lawyer letter.

    Regards,
    Tim
