CNC with electromagnets

I'm very new to arduinos (started last week). I want to make a cnc type machine that lifts objects with electromagnets. From a garage sale I already have:

Some MOSFET and limit switches.

Would it be possible to control everything from one arduino? How do I connect the electromagnets to the cnc shield? Do I need any other parts?

does CNC machine lift objects?

Test your electromagnet to see if it releases the held object as fast as you need. You may have to reverse the magnetic field for an instant to get quick release.

Welcome! Yes it is possible. You can do this the intelligent way and do some research first, it will probably save time, money and frustration. I would get the Arduino Cookbook and skim it cover to cover. Stop and read any section that is interesting or Pertinent to your project. This will take several weeks and we will still be here. While you are at it consider watching some videos, some are good some are junk.

The most important thing is to have fun and enjoy.
