Hi,
I'm collecting parts to build my second CNC router. I made first one Arduino/DC+Encoder based, so I have no idea about the worlds of CAM software or stepper motors.
The question is - is it possible to drive a CNC router with two parallel axes? Like X axis gantry + X axis table. Could Mach3 be capable of splitting motion from single X axis or it is possible to program as a separate axis in g-code only? Or is it not possible at all?
