I think you are having the same problem I was having UKRobotics. I was trying to make it so everthing was done. Ie limit switches, e-stops, coolant, tool changer.
Just concentrate on getting the drives operational and leave room in the control box for everthing else. This focuses you on the important stuff, and all of the other stuff after you initial test can be added as you go.
like Tom said a wallwort 24vdc power supply a motor power supply, a bunch of cable and connectors to The machine and you can get it to move. Then E-stop, limit switches, coolant, ect.. I am doing mine in this order.
My lathe didn't have anything on it except controler and the lathe I have since added spindle indexer, and limit switches (cant see how i lived without them now). And I still don't have an E-stop (not recomended) but, my power switch is the Aircraft saftey style, that I can easily turn off. So, I haven't been very motivated for the E-stop.
