750 watt is just fine for a 5 turns per inch knee mill.

maybe itll work that time? so it is fine ? good deal ,now will it be fine for using the knee as the z? ive seen some guys useing gas pistons to help out with the weight of the knee .

z knee is a pitfall unless done right ($)
750 wont cut it on the knee, even with counter balance.
w knee works better

link is bad
hit share button on google photos, then copy that link.

alrighty ,ill have to fingure out how to get the knee to stay put then .

you can use the knee as Z but don't expect to be doing anything very accurate or any 3D surfacing.
