    For my machine http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/gantry...eady-eddy.html the breakdown was roughly this;

    mechanical £1600
    electrical £1500
    spindle + vfd £1000

    I've listed the spindle/vfd seperate bacause most people here seem to buy the Chinese 2.2kw model but I went for an Elte spindle and ABB vfd.
