General Mach Discussion / Re: Splitting an axis signal/Controlling more than 6 axis?

Thanks Gianis121.
The mechanical solution won't work in my case and it would be much harder to switch back to a single router when needed. My table design has 2 steppers each for the X, Y and z so that takes care of 6 axis. But if I can run each axis off of one signal split then I'm left with 3 free. The plan in the future is to add 2 more axis to each router so that I would have 2 mirrored 5 axis machining heads.
