    Thank you Guys for your replies and information. I am getting an idea on what I should and shouldn't do.

    How does this sound? I will make the frame from aluminium extrusion of say 30mmx60mm long sides y-axis and 30mmx30mm X-axis. I'm thinking of using two 23nema Steppers on the y-axis unless this is overkill for the length. A 23nema on the X-axis and a 17nema on the Z-axis
    I am leaning more towards a moving gantry design. What is the best design / way to allowing the gantry to move.?
    A Spindal of around 2.3kw That's as far as I have gotten so far.

    A few questions now that I wonder about!

    1, Do CNC routers use similar electronics to a 3D Printer?
    2, Do the need microswitches for end stops?
    3, I see a lot of electronics in boxes with fans?? Do they produce that much heat?

    Any opinions/ advice greatfully received

    Thanks once again
