    Nice concept of Z axis, only problem is that doesn't allow for any adjustment other than shims. How smooth it travels up and down?
    Asking as I machined similar stuff on chinese mill and wasn't parallel.
    Same thing for entire machine - you are mounting rails directly to profiles - no machined base, no epoxy for leveling (parallel, squareness?)
    I do not criticize you - just wander if you aim for accuracy in your machine.
