Thanks Gerry
What I mean is that my gantry is racking because the motors are slightly different speeds .
So the gantry racks by as much as 1/2 " per every 4"n of travel.
Motor setting are exactly the same and the second motor (A)  is slaved to the ( Y ) in this case .

Hi Everyone
I am very new to the cnc / Mach3 world about a month.
I am building a cnc router that has two stepper motors on the same axis.
I have read the instructions from Mach3 and in this case slaved my y axis to the A axis, no problem.
Both motors turn in the same direction but they are not in sync with each other.
I have 2 home switches on each side of the gantry, according to the instructions when I zero the Y one side of the gantry with hit the home
switch, stop and back off and the Y does just that but the A hits its home switch and keeps traveling.
I have tested the home switches by the LED's on the diagnostics screen to confirm they work.
Can anyone please help ??
Thanks Richie.
