Decent drives, and I would be happy using 55V AC with those.

I have a home-built CNC router, roughly 1500x750mm cutting area, and the gantry is about 1m long and fairly heavy - especially with a...

No, sorry I meant to say shielding not earth, but yes the shielding for that group of wires, not the connections themselves...

So I'm talking about the control wire you would also install so that...

Entirely normal, if the cost is over £135.
Under £135, the seller should be VAT registered, and collect the VAT on the UKs (and I think it's also came in for the EU) behalf. If you paid through an...

Last time I used Aliexpress they used an intermediate holding area (escrow?) for my payment and it was only released to the seller when I received it. I’m pretty happy with that. Also if it is Fred...

The thicker the better as it significantly dampens vibrations which translates into cleaner cuts and longer tool life.
Don't be messing around with sand etc because while it dampens vibrations...

I know that you've had a look at my write-up already. I used 3mm wall thickness. If I were doing it again, I might have used 4mm for some of the parts (like anything that has a rail bolted you it)...
