Two or more axis will move simultaneously to move the tool from one position to the next.
It is the job of the controller to blend the velocities of each axis during that move to have the tool move at the specified velocity.
The difficulty, as you have found, is that one axis is using a different base unit. Degrees rather than inches.
Controllers often have a way of compensating for this. Mach3 has a system to compensate the rotary axis feedrate.
ShopBot uses a feedrate scaling factor, which is addressed in the Post Processor.
What controller do you use?

Hi
I'm using Mach3 V3.042.040 and it doesn't move more than 1 axis at the time, first it makes a 360 degree revolution then stop and make a step over to whatever is the tool is set for and then comes back to 0.
I was expecting that the A axis to keep on turning while the X axis kept on moving to the end of the part.
I have the indexer by Rich and this the way it moves.
Maybe I'm missing something in my settings
Would appreciate any help on this one.
Thank you
