    to build a lathe indexer

    I need some direction on what componets to buy to build a lathe indexer ( i enclosed a few photos of what i am trying to do)
    I have 3 axis cnc now and would like to add a 4th axis and the hardware.
    I have gecko drives G203v and would purchase the same for the 4th.
    I do not know what nema rating my steppers are .
    The id on the stepper make no sense...y-86hs114df05d, x-90hs78de062d , z-90hs78dec62d
    The x and z are 8 wire 9cmx7.8cm high,the y is bigger at 9cmx11.4cm approx black in colour
    I have an antek power supply AN 8445 201 955 0800 not sure if this will support a 4th axis.
    If you can and i would appreciate if you can advise me on what stepper to order with the G203v drive
    and will it be ok with the power supply i have.
    I intend to work only wood and the size would be around 8 in diameter 49 in long
    thanks
