Different leadswcrew pitch on X&Y ?

[vacpress]

Is this ok, I think I remember seeing somewhere that this made circular interpolation difficult. I am looking at a pair of seemingly nice ballscrews, one is 1.5"/rev, the other 2"/rev. they have big belt pulleys on them, and i would use rather powerfull motors to turn the .75" diameter screws..

will this provice satisfactory results?

sorry i ask so many weird questions! i have tried to evaluate this question myself, and would like experienced input...

thx!

With all the common software machine controls, it shouldn't be an issue. I've heard that some older software may have had problems with this, but I don't think any that are commonly used here do. You should be fine with them.
