Re: 1720XMTC shoptask z axis Ballscrews

Ok I found a bunch of various project photo of Chuck McGhee's about 3.4 Meg of jpegs I could post if that's allowed? They're from Metalworking.com dropsite.
None are of the later Z axis, though one shows his toolpost turret and the driven ballnut is probably the same!

I Did find a picture of the quill set up on the white machine but it was different than I remembered his Gold machine. It didn't use a ballscrew. I did find some interesting pictures of his CNC tail stock mods using a tool turret and some other ones of the V8 engine he built.
