Hi, I [experimented with something](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/test-z-axis-motor-without-ground-control-etc/3729/4?u=matmaxgeds) that might be similar to what you are thinking - it takes a plunge router base, and adds a threaded rod in place of the depth measurement stick to control the height. It works on the bench, but not yet tested on a Maslow.
