Galvo & CNC mixed together made possible? #10

Hello there!

I've been following that project for a while now and I was wondering for my next build if it would be possible to combine a rather large cnc gantry system and instead of a classical laser head, use a galvo / galvanometer head or DIY servo / stepper motor module to increase drastically the engraving speed.

With all the updates you're bringing to the table and this dev board adding support for more motor types I was wondering if it is buildable? How does the GRBL could be managed to enable the addition of another X/Y axis working on a portion of the total workspace?

This could be huge step for the DIY CNC world!

Anyway thank you for all your work, this is a blessing for all of us!
