    well my ally turned up so made a start on the z motor plate
    all i could think of when making it was, if the mill was finished i would just be watching it being cut.

    Similar to how I did it except I mounted the motor plate 90 degrees clockwise to yours, and lathed a bit of 3" aluminum bar to act as a spacer and give a bit more surface area for the motor plate to bolt on to. Doing it that way enables me to use the handle for manual drilling without removing the stepper - I think yours would collide?
