In my project I need two lead/ball screws to drive the X-axis.

I can connect the two with a timing belt and use a single stepper motor or I can use two stepper motors slaved together.

I'm new to all this, so my question basically boils down to "How hard is it to get 2 stepper motors to run identically?"

My setup is a HobbyCNC Pro 4-axis board and 305 oz/in stepper motors. Mach3 software.

Thanks!
