Guys, And Gals
Has anyone found/used a prefabricated Z for the Mechmate planning to use a spindle and not a router.

I am just getting started and don't plan to use a spider plate ect. at this point

Thank You

Archie, several have used other mounts in the Y-Car to mount the Z-slide. It will take some reading. Here is one example.

Have you done this yourself, MetalHead? Or anyone else from the community.
