Yes, it would, but Mach3 doesn't have that option. Sorry.

 What do you mean Mach3 does not have that option? I did it just as I described it to you in the standard mach screen set.

 Hi Gerry,

           Thanks. That seems to work. It would be nice to have something like a balloon message when you hover the buttons to tell what they do.

The standard mach screen has this button called goto z. what it does is make the machine goto zero position. When I use off sets in the standard screen the dros change to the off set coordinates and when I hit the goto z button the machine zeros at the off set position. I would expect your screen set to work similar.

Hello Gerry,

       I have a question about using offsets. Lets say I have G55 set to 0,0. and G56 set to23,23 mm. I goto the the off sets tab and select G56. How do I get the machine to move to that location?  Thanks.

 OK So I started messing around with the wiring and I have a bad motor. I took a ohm reading on the different coils and they are all in the meg ohm range . Gotta to love Chinese crap.

ok so I reinstalled mach and I get the same behavior. I can see a delay between the Y axis motor and the A axis motor. Now I just need to figure out why. I think I will look into a different driver board.

 Hi Gerry,

           I did change the pulse width, but it made no difference. If I reinstall mach3 do I need to back up my xml file?

Ok thanks. Can I connect both motors to one driver say the Y axis? would this solve my problem?

Hi Gerry,

          I am using a hobbycnc pro driver board. 4 axis. I will try that. Let me ask you something. I read on a forum that I have to have two limit switches on the slaved axis in my case it would be the y axis. After homeing Y then the Slaved axis touches off the limit switch and then mach can sync the two axis. does this sound right?
