Will look at that system you mentioned above and see how it does as that sounds like an option.

Good News, Bad news. Up early this morning and doing the rebuild on the desktop which will be the workshop controler when done and ported Mach to the laptop to continue working on the Beastie (I name my machines, easier to remember which one needs what). For a breif moment had all three motors running though X does not want to smooth down at all. Could this be from the two arbours touching each other and compression problem?

Neither X or Y will go to home point (next to the motor end) completely and hangs about and inch from the true home point (possible torsion issues?). Was getting X a bit smoother when lost Z so letting it rest as need to do some more downloading on the workshop computer (Igore) and get it up so that it can take over the job it was built for.
