Thanks Jeff!
About those amps(20 of 'em) ...Is it true that only the amps that the motors need are drawn? So if the load never exceeds the motor's max amps, they may never receive the full 20 amps. and too, if the motors are set to fault(or the drives) at a preset load, does this qualify as a "safety zone" for the motors?

I guess what I'm trying to do is make my controler/driver/power supply to be utilized for both machines. This would save the costs of an extra power/driver supply...when i get the router built. The "station" could then be castered across the room to operate in the wood area as opposed to the metal area.
I'm thinking that the router I'm working on will hardly experience the heavy loads in the metal lathe/mill.
...and too I have a 7x12 minilathe/mill combo that i'm testing and think these motors will fit on this machine as they have a small foot print...although they may have unnecessarily too MUCH power for the small machine.
