The biggest thing I learned from my plasma is how fast you need to go. On materials like 18ga-16ga you need to fly or you will get dross. The ball screws will probably work, but may start to whip. You should fire them up soon to see how well they work. I have heard that some of the higher quality stepper drivers can help reduce whip because of lower vibration and resonance.
