[Lab] seeking feedback on steppers and spindle for my DIY CNC router

Well, on 11/11 I did purchase a pile of things and it was so much the
system protested a few times and I had to redo the "buy now" part. In
the end I thought I got it all and that was almost correct, 34 of the
items ended up being ordered twice.
I did quickly try to find all dups and cancel one of them but some where
shipped before I got to cancel them so now I got some extra parts. Most
of it doesn't matter to much since it's not to much and  I can use it
but one of the dups someone here might be interested in.

48V 12.5A 600W that I now have two of, if anyone is interested in it you
can have it for $33US

Besides that I did also order

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CNC-Machine-400W-BL-Spindle-Motor-DDBLDV1-0-Brushless-DC-Motor-Driver-12000RPM/32570541246.html
and
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Aluminum-Mold-ER11-Spindle-Motor-Mount-Bracket-Clamp-55mm-Diameter/32691981365.html

Should arrive in a week or two and until then I have to create a small
arduino based thing to show RPM based on the pulses coming from the
driver unit. Got most of it working on lab bench, just need to pack it
nicely also.
