Which stepper motor is Y1 and Y2?

X-Carve
1

Hi Forum, first post!

At the wiring stage on my X-Carve 1000, and trying to figureout which is the Y1 stepper and which is the Y2 stepper!!!
Looking front on at the spindle, I’d presume Y1 is on my left… Is that correct?

thanks in anticipation

I dont have the exact answer to your question but in practical terms it doesn’t matter :slight_smile:slight_smile :slight_smile:
As long as they both run, and in the same direction you are good.

I have a ox cnc with a x-controller and just in the calibration stage, and wired the ox cnc to be the same as a x-carve. I wired the left motor looking from the front as Y Motor1 and right motor as Y Motor 2.
