Re: Floating Z axis for engraving
good info.
How about this? would this work in a similar way with a CNC machine?
Looks like the diamond tip tool but it can spin.

Re: Floating Z axis for engraving
Thats the same kind of thing as the other ebay link. It is not turning. It is only for engraving with a very hard material in other materials. It does adjust the height a bit because it has a spring. But is not usable for panelmakers. For removing of paint from plexi you will need a turning tool.

Re: Floating Z axis for engraving
Hi Alberto,
Thats difficult. The biggest part of my floating z axis was some junk I found in a machinepart junk store. I just adjusted it a bit. You have to start with the mounting of your router mill and the z axis you have on your CNC portal.
Then make a sliding mechanism, thats the most difficult part because they have to align very well.
Did you see the 4 pics on my website? (look on tghe panel page) Then wou will have a good idea on how it works.
