I actually rather like this arrangement, and have used it in two places on my mill. Z: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GkFZLDkk88gzRy9NWh16s9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink This has the nut above the cabinet base (in the original location) and the motor inside the cabinet. Drive to the nut is through a tube coaxial with the screw. X: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/oLM693wLua_FB8juhNe26tMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink This took rather a lot of engineering, requiring a very custom timing pulley, which required me to set up to hob my own timing pulleys. The vernier-slotted preload adjusting rings are locked with a wire spring clip in a manner stolen from Ducati rear wheels. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
