What do I need to build a Maslow w/Z-axis?

No Judgement

I’m unable to find a FAQ or the like that answers this so maybe someone can help…

I want to build a MaslowCNC with Z axis capabilities. What do I need to build it besides the basic kit and the Z-axis kit. Does the Z-axis kit include a ball screw or otherwise? I’m not understanding how it works with the rest of the CNC so I don’t quite get how it fits into the grand scheme of things.

Any help appreciated…

Welcome to the group. You supply the router, we suggest the Rigid R2200. This has a lift system included the Z axis kit fits to.

See:

Z axis Build instruuctions

in the wiki and :

Reading List depending on what options you are using

Let us know if you still have questions.

Thank you

Thanks. Go figure that just 2 minutes ago I found the FAQ containing what I was looking for. I paid about zero attention to the “More” menu item for some reason.
