Slept on the Z axis for a night and came up with a plan. It will be based on the 1 inch thick by 5 inch 6061 T6 aluminum pieces procured at the local salvage yard. Here the mill is happily plugging away doing a G83 routine for the mounting holes for the 4 bearing cassettes. A quick too change and it's back counter sinking the mounting holes.
