Talking 3-Axis Router Control circuit

I'm building a new CNC router and am baaaaaaaaad in electronics
so I drew a circuit in AutoCAD based on some other builders circuits, I dont know if it's a right or wrong configuration, so every body is free to correct me
also how can I turn on/off my "DeWalt" router machine,where and how is it connected to this circuit also switches...???

Futur Add-Ons

Talking Sorry

Sorry I dont even know what a relay is...!!
I am only aware of the basics like:
The breakout board is responsible of connecting the PC with the machine, like a motherboard in PC
the microstepping drivers is responsible of dividing the steps
power supplys,....etc

am bad in electronics please help me..

Well it shows 12 outputs but you need a detailed specification sheet with the input and output configurations, in order to interface correctly?
Or at least a detailed external wiring requirement.

So

Well, these are all the data I have now.
So what do you think about the circuit as a basic configuration...?

You should also include necessary grounding and bonding conductors.

We dont have a ground terminal in our cables

Is the neutral at ground potential? Otherwise it is not termed a 'Neutral'.
Is this a very old installation?

I dont understand what do you mean by old installation
In Egypt, AC current is 2 terminals, one is dead and the other is Live 220V
we dont have grounds except in large machinery and factories
If you touched the fridge bare feeted, You'll get zzzZZZZ..!!

Apart from the Electro-therapy

You may have problems when it comes to being able to 'Ground' your system.
I would suggest as a safety precaution you set up your own ground system, by tying the neutral (the 'dead' one) at the panel to a ground rod sunk in the ground.
If there is any local power regulation or conformity, code etc, I would consult with them if possible!.
