    Quick question on xylotex axis system kits

    Would it be possible to combine two xylotex 3 axis system kits hooked up to two parallel ports to make a 6 axis system?

    Depends on the software controlling them, but it should work.

    I believe I read the Mach3 supports two parallel ports, and if thats the case then the Xylotex kit is eactly what I'm looking for.

    I emailed Xylotex and asked them as well but I'm still waiting for a response.
