Milling machine conversion

[Pmw71]

Many thanks... No worries with the kits... I wouldnt buy them anyway. I'd be machining my own adapter plates etc myself on the handwheel. One bit of advice i was looking for in particular was, was i able to turn a stepper motor with a handwheel or would i have to de-clutch the motor. I was looking at having both options of CNC and hand wheel if you know what i mean. I'm assuming i'm going to need Bipolar motors as opposed to Unipolar for a stronger torque if i'm going to be machining metal (i mainly use aluminium but occasionally mild steel)
