Thank you both Bill and Roger. Bill, YES the TK quick gear changer is a dream to use. It stays on my machine 99% of the time.I think of it like a truck with 4 wheel drive,  You don't need it most of the time, but when you do. It so nice to have. ;-) C.A.G. On Sunday, August 28, 2022 at

Ok! I saw, but did not know. Have you though of putting a small gear up there with a locking arm to keep in form moving? Awesome job on that Z axis. Thanks for sharing. C.A.G. On Sunday, August 28, 2022 at 11:30:12 AM EDT, wrote: I drilled a indent in the shaft for the grubscrew to

OK. Questions answered and I understand like a grownup! I overlooked the holes in the slots. I was curious about powder coat because your swivel plate looked nice and shiny with a heavy coat. Usually enamel paint doesn't look the same as powder coat. DanK On Sunday, August 28, 2022 at
