Re: CNC Lathes

Are you attempting to run all machines at the same time ?

I am not sure of the reason, maybe to save on software costs, but my
simple machine uses steppers and the paralle port.

seems you would either need to run them all as if they were one
machine doing the exact same task. That would only need to make sure
your signal was repeated to each controller. not complicated. no
feedback.

...or you would need 10 paralle ports or some way to divide the
signals.

Then there is speed of the CPU. If you are trying to run 20 axis's
at the same time, you may be past the CPU capability.
