That's why it won't go more than 1/2 step. 400 1/2 steps through a 2:1 reduction makes 800 per lead screw revolution. With the 16mm per turn ball screw that will get 0.02mm carriage movement per motor 1/2 step. Translation. Good enough for the intended use for the lathe.

I however expect smother motion, less noise and not the least less wear.
