    Different screw pitches

    Sorry for the basic question but having never used Linux CNC but I am preparing to build a CNC milling machine, can LinuxCNC cope with different motor to linear movement ratio's?

    I thought it's better to check before the build!

    Yes most controls can do this but it is always best to have the main 2 axes X and Y axes with the same pitch ballscrews or what ever you are using
