Power Ramps thru arduino input connector?

Hi everyone!
I have a Ramps 1.4 And arduino mega with LCD screen. the Ramos board is only going to control three steppers for a cnc machine. I was wondering if I could just plug my 12v power supply into the arduino to power the ramps and steppers? Instead of cutting the end off my power supply and plugging into the ramps input terminals.

Thanks,
Mark

Sorry no.

The dc jack on the mega only goes to the voltage regulator on the mega generating 5v.

There would be no voltage on the stepper vmot pins
