RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Erratic stepper question.

The non-tech translation of the "add friction" cure is to not run the motors
bare shaft, but attached to a machine. Steppers require the dampening of a
load to function properly unless driven with a microstepping drive that
provides the dampening dynamically like the G2XX series from Gecko.
