<br />
The brake on the Z motor and the power of the Z motor when the machine is enabled are all that keep the Z slide from falling.<br />
<br />
When the motor is removed, the slide will fall.<br />
<br />
To properly and safely chock up the Z slide:<br />
<br />
* Find a thick piece of foam or several flat pieces of cardboard.<br />
* Place them under the spindle or Z axis<br />
* Gently lower the Z axis into the foam or cardboard until slight downward pressure is exerted<br />
<br />
The axis is now chocked up.</div>Efeldman
