My concern is that since my X axis is so long (24" on each side of the stepper), my Y axis shaft could twist. I was considering using two steppers for the Y and eliminating the shaft. Since this is my first CNC machine I am not sure how to implement that. I am using one of the DSP controllers from light Object.

Which ( DSP-)controller/software supports this feature???? I haven't found it in Mach3 nor in USBCNC, Lightobject-or Thunderlaser lasercontrollers..
