2 motors on X how do I setup Mach3

Why on earth would they produce that when they could just sell 2 drives.

Why does Gecko sell 4 in 1 when they could sell and do sell them separate.? . . . To give people what they want and create another market. . . No doubt they would also charge a premium.!!

I'll put it another way then do or have you ever seen ANY manufacturer recommending using 1 output for multiple drives because they have nothing to lose in doing so.? . . . I haven't.!!

again no, as they would rather sell you two, i've already answered that for you.

No you haven't answered it.?? . . .They have already sold you 2 drives or more but they don't recommend or show any examples using multiple drives on 1 output do they.? . . .Or don't they do that to sell you more outputs.?

Jazz, are you asking questions or making statements.?

Does it really matter and who gives a toss anyway.!!

agreed.

The machine has the four drivers (leadshine) and only three sets of connections XYZ used on the board, my next question would be if I plugged Mach3 cable into it should I be able to control the steppers without changing board or drivers.

You have 4 axis so use the C axis for the slaved drive. Honestly wouldn't use 1 output for 2 drives if you have a spare output which you do.!!

Yes this is common setup and you can control all drives/motors, just need mach setting up correctly and it will be fine.
