Well I still do general construction, I am still in the process of setting up the shop so I have cabinets to build. I also "want" to build a classic book case. I just bought a new table saw, and I

Bob, Thanks, I'm in that group. Will have a look at your photos. --Gene

* Gene, probably the best thing I can do is to refer you to the prazi-machining group under groups.io. There I have some 45 photo’s under zs6bxi most of them with detailed comments. That should be a

All seems we are working towards the same goal, well done Ralph, nice to read you are going physically forward. Eventually (depends on SANTA)? I will replace my Z axis stepper from a Nema 23 to a

I have a 3.5Nm stepper but it was suggested it was too small for a 3/4-8 leadscrew. I am "thinking" of using it for my X drive, possible with 8:1 gearing. Ralph
