Yep, another newbie here going to build a CNC machine.

What I'm wondering about is using two ways of moving something in one axis. So have the router Z move 4 inches, but then be able move the table 12 inches,
so local movement is along a 4 inch travel, but if I need more, move the table (slow), but then I can build taller stuff, but fast and firm for mostly flat work.

Can the software handle that type of setup? I can see issues in transition between the two methods.
