(perhaps you can find some pictures of his on our archives?) My Home made Z axis looking somewhat different form the norm, but despite that,I really like it. The rack-on-pinon movement is just awesome, ( I have great control,of the movement, both up and down,) It has 8" of plug depth .and I have a fine adjustment control for my plunge movement. It has everything that I need for the moment, I even designed this Z axis to be broken down easily for future modifications .( Those have still yet to be done.but I still have many ideas and dreams left yet to chase/pursue .) But one step at a time. There will be more to come on this, in the future.;-) I hope this helps? Ive added two photos of the Shadow unit although it is Legacy made, I believe it was a pro to type. (and I think it was a thing of beauty! ONE worth coping If you plan to make your own.) Have a good night.
