    will this stepper kit work for my mini lathe?

    hi,
    i am new to cnc zone and cnc's. i am trying to convert a mini lathe to cnc.
    the weight of z axis slide is about 5 kg and x axis is about 4 kg.
    the motors in the kit are 15kg/cm (220~ oz)
    here are the details of the kit

    and the stepper details are here

    Will this kit work for me or i should go for probotix?
    as i have not found any video or plan using this kit and i am worried about the RPMs and torque of steppers for jog.

    i will be using acme screws with nilon or gunmetal nuts. DO suggest me should i use multistart acme screw or single start. The kit is very cheap and i am interested in it. But it is my first project and i don't want to fry my first kit on the first run of machine.

    regards,
    jasom
