Z axis almost done!

I have not posted in a while, but I have been making progress! The lead screws fit the skate board bearings nicely so I decided to cut two ends with pockets for the skateboard bearings.

I had to play with the tolerances to get a nice press fit of the bearing into the ends. The ends turned out really nice!

Now I just need to attach the lead screw nut to the carriage, figure out how to attach the stepper motor, and create mounts to hold the tool.

For the tool, I am thinking about upgrading my Dremel to the Craftsman professional palm router so that I can use 1/4" end-mills and have more power!
