General Mach Discussion / Using Mach3 with two independent z-axis?
« on: June 18, 2008, 05:26:38 PM »
I've got a old Shopbot that came without any of the control hardware. I'm going to set it up to use Gecko Drives and Mach3.
I have 2 Z axis for it. My thought was to run them both, one with a Colombo 3HP spindle for most of my cutting and contouring, and the second a simple Router set up to just drill holes.
Can I set up Mach3 to use to Z-Axis and change which is used via tool change commands?? Or am I totally off base?
