Sieg SX2 Plus build

Nice machining....! How did you do that? Have you got an other mill? Lathe?

I've also been drawing up a Z-axis arrangement and find that I can just fit the ballscrew behind the motor if I make a cut out in the plastic motor mount.

Good! I knew it must be possible some how. This should looks good!

That was done on a sixty year old Atlas lathe with a homemade collet adaptor to ensure concentricity.

I've just had another idea for mounting the Z ballscrew. Thread the end of the ballscrew M10 and drill and tap the top of the head casting to take it with a grub screw at the rear to lock it in place. It should all fit without any other mods. The ballnut has to be fixed above the motor in it's highest position so the assembly will be quite tall.
