I take it the current Z lead screw is has a stationary nut in the base, and the screw is driven through a crown and pinion gear. (Same as the deckel). Have you given any thought to how you are going to CNC this axis? I would expect the right angle gears to have unacceptable back lash.
What color are you painting it?
