    Fruit Machine Stepper Motors - Any Good?

    I found 3 motors from an old fruit machine:
    It has 24 steps per resolution and I measoure 54 Ω/27Ω, 6 wires. The shaft is 6.35 mm and the mounting base is 56mmx56mm (from bοlt to bοlt-23 Nema?).
    The label mention only manufacturer and the model of it-Barcrest 340230. I did some google searge but with no luck.
    I want to ask if they are suitable for a home cnc mill project and if so what volt/ampere driver should I look for them.
    I am a newbie in electronics and here in Greece all these informations are hard to find.
    So I would really appreciate any reply.

    Most steppers used for our machines have 200 steps per revolution, and a lot of us use gecko drives wich will put out 10 micro steps per step for a total of 2000.

    Basicly it sounds like those ones probably wont be suitable for this.
