Very Nice Joe.
Can you take a few more pictures of your 90 deg. tilting mech. of your Z axis?

That could be something useful to one of our group? although the Legacy acme

I have owned a Legacy model 1000, one of the real old ones and I have only used
it once. I would like to find a reason to use it more and possibly convert it
to CNC. Thanks

carriage
