I’ve been thinking about this, too. I just pulled out the three incline motors that I have and each has a very different mechanical setup so I guess I will have to hook them up and see what they will do. I’ll let you know what I find out.
I get tired of cranking my z-axis up and down by hand so this will be a great help if I can make it work. I have measured the torque required to lift the 160 lb head and it is 171 oz-inch at the hand crank.

OK, here's a silly idea ... Z axis drive.
