Thanks, Clive yeah I don't plan on buying anything as of yet, think I might start a new thread to consolidate all my question into one as I have a fair few.
Yes I read id get away with a single 13a plug but to be on the safe side go for a high rating, the distance from the main fuse board to the CNC is roughly 70m ill be leaving this to the brother in law as he's the electrician, he told me about the voltage drop over distance and thinks that I should get away with 6mm² cable with master fuse in the main box and the fuse box in the shed with ring main on.

Yes a 3 core wire armoured cable would do the trick you could bury that in the ground. How about putting a cat5 cable in with it you can run up to about 100 Mtr without a switch (booster) or put a wifi link across you can easily get 1000 mtr with simple stuff line of sight. Good idea to start a build blog to keep all the question together. Good luck with the build.
