I was thinking of ordering a package like this for my mini mill project, but I thought I should ask here first in case there is a warehouse for this kind of stuff in the GTA. Any help would be appreciated.

3Axis Nema 23 Stepper Motor 425oz-in CNC Mill Control:

Novakon Systems is in Markham sells parts.

You may want to do some research on matching motors to drivers and power supplies. The 425 oz motors have a high inductance which requires a high voltage to get any speed. The 24 volt supply would not allow for very fast drives.

Thanks for that. The set I saw on the build your own CNC site listed a 36 volt power supply, so I was wondering about that as it is. I'm not necessarily buying the listed set, for now they don't even list Canada as a destination, though I think they want to ship here.

I checked that site, seems like a parallel universe. Nothing exactly for my project, except what looks like a good deal on some collets I am going to need.

I got my motors, drivers, power supply and breakout board from Motiontek.ca (311 oz/in stepper kit). I also got my ballscrews and bearing blocks from them.

When I ran into trouble, they helped me get my setup running. They're awesome! They're here in the GTA but they don't have a retail store.
