Great in case this may help, here is a post of mods I made to the router housing for smooth motion. > [@What did you do today?](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/what-did-you-do-today/5463): > > Prepped the worm carrier for the bushing as seen here [http://maslowcommunitygarden.org/Inexpensive-add-ons-for-z-axis-slack-imprecision.html](http://maslowcommunitygarden.org/Inexpensive-add-ons-for-z-axis-slack-imprecision.html) My choice for bonder was PC-7, mix black and grey. Kindof a paste no runs. 1/2 inch bolt with some washers to bring the thread in play. Packing tape on the bolt to prevent bonding. I assembled the clip and bushing with PC-7 on the bushing, put the nut on top and tightened it down. !… I am also using a graphite dry lubricant. > [@Router body lube (z-axis function)](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/router-body-lube-z-axis-function/5787): > > Been using this and wanted to share. Does not attract or hold dust (sawdust) and the body slides slick in the router housing. [http://www.blastercorp.com/Graphite-Dry-Lubricant](http://www.blastercorp.com/Graphite-Dry-Lubricant) Sanding the router housing and the grove for the index pin as mentioned in the top link above made a big difference. I am satisfied with my z-axis function now. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.maslowcnc.com/t/z-axis-not-functioning-motor-works/6212)._
