    Hi! Just assembled my ratrig stronghold one CNC router.
    I have a question about the two stepper motors for the Y axis rails. How do I make sure that they are wired in a correct direction, because wiring it the opposite way can make it rotate the opposite direction.
    I just want to make sure that they rotate in the right direction and not cause any binding from one rotating in the right way and the other the opposite way. Thanks!
