    Okay with the advice given and working in ViaCAD to get things set up would like folks opinion of the following set up for a Y Z axis set up.
    Click image for larger version.  Name: New Z Axis for Wee Beastie.jpg  Views: 699  Size: 90.7 KB  ID: 4390

    The dimension marks are left over from getting the height right from the table surface and still having space for the 4th axis.

    So please folks opinions. This is not complete. The Y is a little to long (was learning how to download files from Hiwin, great set up they have) and the screws on the Z and the Y are yet set in, nor is the anti back lash nut for Y (it will be between the two rails).

    There are 4 carriages holding the Z axis to the Y even though you only see 2.

    opinions please.
