Preliminary List of Needs

Cables need to be labeled
Cables need to be consistent gage and type
Connectors need to be keyed (so they only fit together one way) and standardized
Cable routing and securing needs to be redone
- If wire ties are used, they need to be trimmed
Limit switches need to be securely mounted and wired
Mounting hardware for table is missing an insertion nut
Attach spindle to keyed connector
Control boards need to be tested
Stepper motors need to be tested
Determine heat sink and cooling fan needs for control boards
Determine whether control board interfaces with spindle
Research alternatives for controllers and connectors
Research alternatives for table materials & mounting
Mount all power and control in a box with keyed cable connectors
Install emergency stop button

The insertion nut is the rectangular piece. M5 thread,

Note: Stepper motors are Smart Automation SM42HT47-1684B. Specs are on this page.

Rated voltage = 2.8 V

Rated current = 1.68 A

Rated resistance = 1.65 Ohms

Rated inductance = 2.8 mH

Note: Here's a block diagram for adding an emergency stop that looks like it may be a reasonable solution:
