I am going through the same design/collect materials phase that you are and I'm building a similar sized 2.2kw spindle, steel frame as you. In your budget did you account for all the 'little things'?

Like:

Control Cable
E-Stop button
Limit switches
Nuts & bolts
Water pump for the spindle
Tubing for the water pump
Connectors for the tubing
Cable runs
Welding supplies
Paint
Etc...

Accounting for all these sorts of things is adding an easy £200-£300 to my budget (even with making my own cable runs after the machine is built) and then of course before I cut a single thing I'll need a few different router bits so that is another £50.
