    Slaving more than 1 axis

    Will Mach3 allow you to slave more than 1 axis. I am building a large gantry and want to drive the gantry forward and backwards, say Y axis and A axis.

    I also want to be able to drive both ends of the Zaxis up and down as I am spaning 8 feet. Can this be done?

    Haven't tried it, but it lets you set up a slave for the the X, Y, and Z. So I guess you can.
