Has anyone here made their own Z axis using the porter cable plunge router? Thanks Denson

A little awkward, but once you get used to it, no biggy. I learned something here: I didn't know there was such a thing as a lock bar!

It uses a height bar setup. You dial in the height and lock the bar. Then try to reproduce that height, no way. As the router drops, the z carriage cocks a little to one side and goes deeper than set. I have done all I can think of to take the play out of the carriage, but to no avail. When i purchased this upgrade i thought it was cool. Not so much now. When the router is running it will settle some on its own. I will eventually come up with somehing.

I was asked in a private e-mail about the Legacy's Z axis. The Gentleman owns a model 1200 and wants more... Now Everyone here knows that Legacy no longer sells the parts he wants. I suggested that the question be brought up to the group. (so that's why I am posting this question to the group.) Everyone here knows that I made my Own Z axis For my Legacy 1000ex. ,(So, I will be adding my own 2 cents on this topic latter.) Has anyone else made there own? or have any plans to try to? Part 2 of the question. A lot of people own the Original Z axis that Legacy made. What's the Pro's and Con's of it. What do you like and or dis-like about it. Is there anything about it you would change? and if so how? and why? Any and all ideas or thoughts are welcome. Have a good day.
