There is no reason it should not work. If you still have troubles,
ask on the TurboCNC group.

I think the motors will be too small, but there is some hope !

build your 'first' machine with the parts you have. it will be fun,
and a learing experiance and you'll have a small unit that can help to
make parts for the bigger machine.

Even if all it can do is start a 1/16 hole in metal, you can then take
that to your drill press and put in the bigger holes in the proper
location.

Then, sell the machine on e-bay and buy the bigger motors with the $$$
