XYYZ gantry

Thanks Jon for your comments. This would mean that
prior to every machining cycle, one would have to home
the axes first. would it also mean that using a tandem
gantry will limit one's choice of CAM software? (Using
separate stepper drivers and a CNC program that is
unaware of the dual nature of this axis setup, it is
not to easy to do this properly.)

Any experience with a gantry like MiniRobo
www.super-tech.com which I think is XYYZ? Will one
encounter problems if one
uses those software often mentioned on this list like
CNCPro, Vector, etc, rather than Supercam that is
bundled with miniRobo?

Thanks.

Peter
