X-axis

The mount used on the x- axis can be drilled in the center for the
motor shaft. I drilled a 3/4-inch hole for play and drilled the four
holes to bolt the motor to the moun t. Drill a 3/ 4-inch center ho le
opposite the motor shaft opening and li ne up a pi llow block to
mark the ho les needed to mount it on the side opposite the moto r
(see Figure 9.2l.
I wanted the lead screw to run th rough the foot of the gant ry. so I

the beam (see Figure 9.3).
