Took some time today and got the Z-axis scale installed.
(Edited to correct my brain stall when I said Y-axis originally.)
Drilled and tapped the spindle yoke and made a mounting block.
Discovered that when I put the reader head and end cap back on the scale hit the casting on the inside when the spindle was fully retracted.
I thought about taking the cover off and grinding back the casting but decided to add another block.
Made some brackets to hold the reader head. Used one of the holes for the sheet metal cover to attach it to the casting.
All that’s left is to tidy up the cables.
I’m really pleased at how it came together.
