The irony of using the most outdated tool in my shop to build the most technically advanced tool was not lost on me
I had to remove .125 from the side of the mounting block so the plate that mounts to the column would line up properly.

The Z axis is installed and runs smoothly from top to bottom with no hint of binding. I did have to grind a bolt down (it was either that or enlarge a hole in the casting) but otherwise the Fusion kit fit better than I expected considering how many variations there are of these mills and how poor the casting quality can be. I'll finish up the other two axis tomorrow, I don't think they should require as much finagling.
