    Ray,

    Taking into consideration all of your responses to all of the threads you have posted, my conclusion is this;

    You want to make guitars so just buy a cnc machine that is already built, be it new or second hand,.
    It's going to be easier, faster, maybe even cheaper,I know this because of my own cnc journey,

    Thanks to this forum I came to understand the fundamentals of cnc machine design and then thanks to my existing electrical and mechanical knowledge the build was quite easy.
    It did take me a while though so think how many guitars you could be making rather than fighting with putting a cnc machine together.

    Off the top of my head here's a list of items that have to be considered, then you also need the tools and equipment in order to fashion them.

    aluminium for frame
    fasteners
    Linear bearings
    linear rails
    ball screws
    ball nuts
    ball screw support bearings
    timing belts
    timing pulleys

    stepper motors
    drivers for stepper motors
    spindle motor
    control board(s)
    relays/contactors
    panel wiring
    flexible cable for steppers, spindle, switches
    energy chain
    wiring terminals
    enclosure for electrical equipment
    trunking for wiring
    din rail
    VFD for spindle(possibly optional)
    Power supplies
    switches, buttons, indicator lights
    limit switches
    homing switches
    fuse holders
