is there too much going on with the z axis?

If you went for an I-Beam for your cross member you could increase it's rigidity whilst bringing the ball screw much closer to the line of the slides, losing the outrigger and increasing rigidity there too,

total ballscrew length is 1800mm and travel is 1300mm, only reason for rotating nut is incase of whip as im mostly cutting wood so 10000/min is my goal

just out of curiosity, when determining the z axis height do you measure to the collet?

1610 screw is no good for that length. 2010 or as you have designed it is even better, but more expensive.
