hey bill!...right now i have not worked how i might lock the router in place...but i do not anticipate that being a big problem...i am not using a split nut...i see just disconnecting the hand wheel assembly at the top of the rails and the acme thread bracket at the bottom...it is just a process of removing or loosening a few screws...the acme threaded block is just not in a good location to think about messing with it....i definitely see using a handle to control the router when doing template work on this axis...this is a must and no way of getting around this...but a handle can control the up and down as well as the in and out at the same time, with a bit of practice, of course...and i am not sure i am understanding your first sentence, but this is not a home made "Z" axis...this is legacy's carriage assembly with a few modifications...i agree, the counter might go a long way to help absorb vibrations as it will add 40 lbs. to the entire carriage assembly...an educated guess is that the entire carriage( "Y" and "Z" axis') weighs about 100 lbs....and i do hope to make a video of this mod, as well as the others i have done...thanks for the reply...joe
