    On the pictures of your Z axis, the positioning of the slide blocks behind the spindle mounting plate seems to lose you a fair bit of potential movement.
    From what I can see of your design a shorter mounting plate with the spindle mounted higher (immediately over the slide bearings) would give a more rigid assembly. If you need the extra length then this could be attained by just sliding the spindle lower in the spindle clamp.
    As it is, the spacing of your slide bearings loses you about 25% of your potential Z travel.

    Thank you for advice. That really good as you say but i decide to do this because i need to design standard pattern (for me) that Z axis can mount any spindle clamp , for some spindle clamp it use wide plate to fit it but some spindle clamp will fit already or router clamp. If all clamp can mount from font it will have no problem but for some clamp it wide than z mounting plate and it can not mount from font of clamp then it need to mount from rear, So i design it for easy assembly, disassembly. So that why i make more distance between of slide block to make it rigid enough to handle force when cutting.

    PS. I'm not good in English , i'm not sure it will make you understand what i'm try to say. So if i make you confuse please feel free to ask me.

    For sample of spindle clamp that need to mount from rear ::




    If this spindle clamp size Dia=65mm, length = 120mm it will fit to my z axis plate and for Dia=80mm, length= 130mm it will fit too. But for my spindle clamp it a bit wide than standard spindle clamp it length= 150mm.

    I think I understand what you are saying, however, possibly a better way to go would be to have an individual 10mm thick spindle clamp adapter plate that mounts to the Z spindle plate. This would then give you the best of both worlds.
    Alternatively, just make the mounting plate 20mm wider and the clamp that you used as an example would then bolt on from the front using holes tapped into the Z spindle plate.
    The example you show does not have to clamp from the rear, it just makes it look prettier if it does. There is plenty of room on the flanges to allow for bolts.

    You are making great progress ID2.
    It's a shame you dont have access to a CNC machine to mark out all the bolt holes. Looks very tedious having to mark everything

    Keep up the good work and keep posting pictures

    What stepper drivers are you using? They look like Crystal System units, which i have in my X4 mill

    I am really liking your build, thank you for posting all the photos. I have a question, what thickness of Aluminium plate are you using?
    Regards Ben
