I want to cut a slope or pitch using G code and Mach3. For example, start X0, Y0, Z0. Then move to say X1, Y0, Z.050. Is this possible to get a smooth slope, or does Mach only take steps, such as move to X1, ignore Y0, then plunge to Z.050?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Can Mach3 move 2 axis at same time?
Yes, it can. It can move 6 axis at the same time if you need it to.
If it couldn't, you couldn't anything but rectangular shapes.Gerry

Got it. Thank you. Looks like I just have to make a minor change to my G-Code.
