>If you put the spindle mounts closer together, you can slide the spindle up and down in the mounts and it becomes a moot point...

Yep, true enough - I've included 4 sets of holes for the spindle brackets so that should give me a fair bit of room for manoeuvre - just wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing something obvious!

I just have holes in back plate for adjustabilty so between these and sliding spindle up and down brackets makes finding the best or ideal position easy.

Like this (Only showing 1 brackets but there's two) If mostly cutting thin material then the holes at the bottom are the Ideal position has the distance from lower Spindle main Body to collet is a constant overhang so here the Z axis is extended the least it needs to be.
Spare holes can be used for other things like holding air or Vacuum shoes/pipes etc.
