Any chance this is also standard on Z20 upgrades for the BB controlled machines? Your spindle offering is causing me to bite the bullet on the Z upgrade. This week is already going to cost me about $3700, so not buying a separate motor that saves an 80mm spindle from crashing down would be nice. Now I really need you to not tell my wife how much I am spending! ---

There is not a brake option for non-elite machines. ---

Well that answers that. I pretty much ignored all the spindle and Z slider talk up to this point since o wasn’t looking to start experimenting with random spindles. ---

If Onefinity knew this was going to be an issue why didn’t they just install the braking motor on all Elite machines. Had mine a year now and am buying the new 80mm spindle and mount and also have to spend another $138 on a new motor to prevent damage. What am I supposed to do with the old motor? Just let $100+ just sit on a shelf. ---

Hey Curt Keep the old Z motor as a spare part for when one of the other motors fail. ---

Well, at least you would have a spare motor in cast the one of the x or y motors went out.
