These are great boards but I believe they only handle 3.5amps per motor. I am not familiar with your set up but on a larger mill they would probably run out of steam.
I have a mini lathe that was binding when i first got it and the motors would bog down from just the binding. I since freed it up and the motors work great but its only a mini. If you mill is a full size I would probaly look at something with more current capability.
