What we can help you buy on 1688
Every machine has a short list of parts that will need replacing, and on a desktop CNC that list is cheap, predictable and almost never stocked before it is needed. A ten-yuan limit switch stops a machine just as completely as a spindle does.
This is the category worth buying twice: once when you buy the machine, and once more so the second set is already on the shelf.

They are consumable by design. A spindle that has started to whine or has visible runout usually needs bearings, not replacement. Angular contact bearings come in precision classes and matched pairs, and buying a single bearing for a paired seat is the common mistake.
A timing belt loses tension gradually, and the symptom is dimensional drift that looks like a machine problem. Tooth profile and pitch have to match the pulleys exactly — HTD, GT2 and T-series are not interchangeable whatever the width.
Brushed spindles and trim routers wear brushes out. They cost very little, they are machine-specific, and almost nobody has spares until the machine stops mid-job.
Dust and chips make a mechanical switch intermittent long before it fails outright, and an intermittent home switch produces parts that are wrong in a way that is hard to diagnose. Keep spares; they cost almost nothing.
Cable chain cracks, and the cores inside a cheap cable break from flexing where you cannot see them. On a machine that runs daily, treat both as consumable rather than permanent.
A worn nut or a bruised collet shows up as runout and poor finish, and people replace the cutter or the spindle first. Keep a spare nut and a spare collet in the sizes you actually use.
