Just as the title says....in Mach 3 I only see primary axis options of X,Y Z and slaved axes A,B,C.

I need to slave A axis to B Axis.

Can this be done?

TIA!

Can you rename your X as B? Although your gcode would need to reflect that. You could try sending the same step and direction signals to both drives.

Ger21,

Thanks for responding....

Verrrry smart man you are!

I will change output pins in MACH from X to A, and my A to X, change my keymapping, then reflect the change in my postprocessor.

Thanks so much!!!

Regards,
Justin
