    Set up one motor as the Y axis, and one motor as the A axis, and slave the A axis to the Y axis using Config >Slaving

    Those commas, went out when command lines evaporated.
    We assume you are talking about Mach3.
    Super X3. 3600rpm. Sheridan 6"x24" Lathe + more. Three ways to fix things: The right way, the other way, and maybe your way, which is possibly a faster wrong way.
