The Z-Axis

You'll need the following too ls and materials to build the z-axts of
the machine.
• I X 3 metal stock

• TV sliding tray

• Hacksaw
• Drill

• Dr ill bits

• Nuts and bolts
The z-axts is const ructed from a TV holding glide and two pieces
of I X 3 foot steel. I bought the TV slide from a big box home
improvement store because it looked and felt stu rdy enough to act
as the z-axls (see Figure 8.2).
