Four motors on a Leadshine MX3660

[Trideciple]

I am assembling a 3 axis woodworking CNC router. The Y axis will have two right twist acme leadscrews, each with its own stepper motor turning in the same direction. Can I connect the two Y axis motors to the Y axis driver on an MX3660? I know they make the 4 axis MX4660, but I can get a good deal on the MX3660. Gryphon CNC is doing the same thing, but with one motor turning opposite the other.

Trideciple,

The short answer is no, it is not recommended and there is a good chance doing so would smoke the offending drive axis power transistors in the process.

Have a most awesome evening,
