    spindle choice for CNC router

    I'm in the process of planning to build my first CNC router. I am trying to decide on which router I should use for my spindle. I have looked at the water cooled spindles but they all seem too expensive for my budget.
    here is what i'm looking at:
    Trend T4 ~£75
    DEWALT D26200 ~£140
    Makita RT0700C ~£105

    I was also looking at the Bosch GKF600 but it does not have variable speed (240V colt) as I am in the UK.

    advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Size of your machine? Target speed? Type of materials you plan to cut? This would be useful to know in deternining if your spindle choice is good...
