sorry for not posting sooner but been working on several things lately, but back to the mini mill.
heres a photo of what I am trying to do.
this is basically the same as what I had in the other photos except that it is made to mount to the back of the column. with some support under the mount on top of the column instead of all the mount strength being in the top. I'm not sure about some of the measurements due to not having things like the bearings or the timing cogs (cogs on order) going to look into bearings tomorrow here local.
I have room in the slide plate if I need to to cut the two slots about a half inch longer which then I can turn it around and mount it the other direction which will help with belt length. the motor that is shown on the mount is not the one that will actually be used I still have to purchase a motor for the Z Axis, and the spacers/stands that the motor is mounted on top of will probably have to be cut shorter.
