Wally k. Asks;

Could some of you that saw these knee powered Z axis mills look at
this link and see if it jogs your memory.

I want to know hot they mounted the Z axis motor and how they drive
the ballscrew. From the picture it looks like the motor is mounted
on the side of the knee. Maybe they cut a hole in the knee and drive
the ballnut with a belt.
