Do you have any further info on what you did for a spindle pickup? Did you used a single tang mounted inside the headstock or a wheel mounted on the exterior at the rear?
Also, I noticed you did away with the floating bearing mount on the z axis and now just have the motor mount and coupler supporting the screw. You found it wasn't needed? Will this change when you mount a ballscrew? Do you plan on covering the ballscrew at all with guarding?
I have heard the turn version of Mach3 is far from polished. It's unfortunate there isn't the support for it. I have been leaning toward going with a Dynomotion KFLOP/KSTEP setup for my builds.
Thanks again for the great documentation of your build and for answering my questions. There are not many recent 9x20 documented builds out there.
