Nice one for the advice I am going to go with a 2.2kw with 4 bearings and a VFD as my starter spindle and the price from Germany is very similar to from China but delivery times are better obviously and no import tax. Hopefully I can order it some time next week but my ballscrews are in Stanstead now so have to see how much they screw me for import tax first.

I can handle wiring a pot in ;)
