Greeny, Many thanks for taking the time to respond.

i still value your feed back all the same,

yeah i have had a peruse on through some of them i love how some just keep evolving.

Balls Screws. The alixpress likes are just the info i wanted...this helps nail a design down abiet in cad but with all the holes in the right places etc/
i have vague idea on the size i need think i would like to use 16mm.

again (HTD-5) great just what i needed to read.

after reading and i have a look and it would appear this is what i would need for my y axis

Noted about the 2.2.kw spindle...may start out with a smaller one as my machine to start with is not massive and the stuff i plan to isnt massive.

Cheers
