| Yes, you can use different pitch screws on different axis. In Mach3 go to Config>Motor Tunning, then you just figure out what steps to put there and you set, each axis/motor can have its own settings. For example on X you use 10tpi screws, with 200/rev motors with 10uStep drive, it would be 200x10x10=20000, or if 8tpi screw math would be similar, 200x8x10=16000 Hope this helps |
