However if the screw is 10mm you need to machine it down to have a smooth cylindrical surface on which to mount the bearing. That means the bearing will need to be smaller, possibly 8mm.
The feedrate you get will be very limited by only having 2mm pitch screws and as Martin has said, if the feedrate is too low the machine can be severely limited. It depends what you want to cut. If it's just most wood and PCBs then you can manage with just about anything, but plastics tend to require quite a high feedrate to ensure the tool cuts and does not rub. You can compensate by using a lower spindle speed and single flute cutter, but there's a limit to how low the spindle can be set before you no longer have enough power to make the cut...
