    Different screw pitches

    Sorry for the basic question but having never used Mach3 but I am preparing to build a CNC milling machine, can Mach3/4 cope with different motor to linear movement ratio's?

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

    I've also asked this question in the linux forum as I don't know what I will use yet (any thoughts/comments?)
