Grip frame angles?

I am looking for a suitable "homework" project for my new job.
The boss thinks the best way to learn how to really handle a
CNC machine is to do your own stuff every now and then.
That's the right way to look at it, I say!

So... I want to make something really unnecessary.
I was thinking to make a totally missmatched grip frame
for my phantom. Like a z-grip look-a-like.

My question to you is, what angle is a Z-grip tilted forward.
I've heard that there is another less angeled frame called Y-grip.
Does anyone know the angles of those grips?

Cheers
/GP

IIRC, the Y-grip was 15 degrees forward, and the Z-grip was something like 25 or 30.

Don't quote me on that, though.

Thank you.
Now I have some angles to play around with when drawing in the CAM program.
If I manage to make the machine spit out something remotely usefull, I'll post an image.
