OK so Z axis is together now, couldn't resist a little test with a cordless drill The machining on the ballscrew is not 100%, there's a wobble on the drill but it's not too bad and I'll be able to live with it.



For the eagle eyed among you you'll notice that there are 8 holes for the ballnut holder....erm not much to say apart from oops

Does the cordless drill have step/dir inputs to drive directly from Mach3?
