    Question about mach 3's steps calibration

    Ok so I have read countless threads about calibrating each axis, the only thing I have not seen is how you do your slaved axis. Can anyone answer how they calibrated the slave axis, or are they always supposed to be the same steps as the master?

    Thanks,
    Justin

    They MUST be the same as the master.

    Thanks Gerry, probably going to do this tonight and measure with a tape over the length of travel.
