    Well i think Robin's idea is pretty nifty, but i don't think it's going to work for me, as the rails i have are not long enough!
    A good example of not buying until the design is finished!

    The only way i can get to sensibly work is as per the drawings below.
    The Z table must fit between the Y blocks which means the y blocks are spread quite wide.
    In this case restricting my Y movement to about 250mm which is too small (I'm aiming for 350mm)

    I do quite like it though, it makes for a wider Z assembly than usual, but makes it very compact in other respects . (always some tradeoffs!)

    Cheers
