I scratch built a medium duty CNC router for a friend of mine. I went with the Kress router head. Do not underestimate the capability of this unit, it has good power, stiffness and the one I used had only 2 microns of runout. It can cut metal pretty well. The only downside is that it doesn't do well much below 10,000 RPM. I like the look of the Arc Euro Trade spindles (and the Japanese VFD they sell with them) and would likely go with them if I did it again. More expensive, but heavier duty again and they use ER collets - much more versatile.
