Why? The Taig CNC mill is fitted as standard with 200 oz/in motors rated
1A/phase.

The bigger issue with these 150 oz-in motors is that they are 5-phase
motors & although they are mated to 5-phase controllers, if the controllers
turn out to be a POS then they are harder to find replacements for than
"normal" 2-phase steppers.
