Hello again. One more note.Amazon has lots of Z axis and Linear rail that the
prices are pretty good. It might not hurt to look some of them up, Just perhaps
you will be able to find something that you can add to your machines? Perhaps

Do you have any pictures or maybe plans?

Hi Bob,
Have you tried looking at the top-hat bushings? They can be rotated to another
spot and they will be like brand new.
To all,
Their were 3 designs that I’m aware of. The last design did have a plunge rod
like the plunge routers to help with the plunge problem.
Another
That is nice work
Thanks Bill

this was my z axis I used a plunge router to add fine adjustment to the depth.
Today I would use the small triton router instead of the ryobi the triton has
the fine plunge screw.

Adding stops one each side and extra clamping this stopped movement and allowed

Curt thank you for your response. I would indeed like any info on plans or
directions on building a Z axis using the plunge router or what ever.
Any info on helpful owner made add on’s would also be appreciated.
Thank you

I got my 1200 with the original Porter-Cable router. When the Z axis

knew till now that it had issues (not a real surprise to me). What I did

I have the 1200 with z axis upgrade also. To me it was no good. Nice ides but a
failure on execution. Without dead on repeatability and without the ability to
deadlock the router in place, it wasn't worth much. The basic plate with plunge
router was much better.

I have a 1200 with the z-axis/digital readout but no lock bar, and I've found
that the only way to keep the router dead on is to fix my palm on the crank
after dialing the height in and hold it dead still while traversing over the
work. A little awkward, but once you get used to it, no biggy.
I agree with what Bib wrote. I regret getting the Z axis unit. Using the base
z-axis and using the plunge on the router is in my opinion easier, faster, and
more accurate.

I have the crank style Z axis with digital readout. 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
