    Hello,

    I am designing an aluminium frame CNC.
    I will post someday pictures of the full machine I intend to do.
    For the moment, I have troubles with my Z axis design that you can see below.

    For those who know, I have used carriages from Ahren Cncrouterparts.
    My concern: how to get the maximum travel on z axis.
    Lets have a closer to my design:

    On this picture, I have put the z axis as low as possible.
    For me, the available travel is min 30 mm (cf. picture), depending on the length of the bit I will use.
    How can I increase this travel?
    Fix my router further down on the interface plate? I fear cantilever...
    For the moment the router is fixed 30 mm below the carriage.

    Can I increase it?

    Other solutions you have used?

    Thanks
