Hey Everyone,
So I have been on a few forums here and found some designs that I based mine on, here is a pic:

I think I have sourced good prices on ballscrews ($275 for all 3 axis) and MGN15 Linear Guiderails ($250 for all 3 axis), but let me know if there are better deals for Canadians please!
My other big concern is the Spindle. I was originally going to get a Dewalt 611 router, but after seeing that it isnt ideal, noise and precision wise, for aluminum. I looked around for Watercooled VFD spindles 110v, but have not been able to find anything under $500 CAD
which is a bummer for me, since I expected a spindle to cost me <200. Has anyone been able to find this type of spindle that can be shipped to Canada, IE not on Ebay.com or Amazon.com (Since Im in Canada I cant use those sadly)
Other than those two things, I believe I am ready to start ordering stuff, but I want to just get some feedback on my design first. Here is a Solidworks model of it, with pictures:
