Ger of course saves me again..
As I'm building the mock up (using 3/4" and 1/2" ply to simulate where I will be using the aluminum) I've been comming to my senses. Becides things on the Z are getting heavy the longer the travel. I'm going to shoot for 10-12" max travel Perhaps I will go to 8-9. I'd say that would be more practical and probably also work better.. Really don't have a plan for what the machine will do though. hehe But hopefully it will look cool..
Just got 2 long lengths of guide chain (that stuff the wires can run inside) to use from work. I was worried how I would end up hacking a way to run the wires but now at least that part will be quite clean..
Probably be a couple months before the project is worthy of pictures (sorry)
