    Z-axis is coming along nicely - got all the parts machined on the mini-mill ;)

    Last step is to make the link from the nut to quill.

    My first idea is to plasma-cut a part from 10 or 12mm steel plate, then fit it up and weld it to original bridgeport part. This would make assembly easy as i can fit the parts up on the mill then clamp together and remove to make the weld.

    Sound like a plan?
