Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DC motor as replacement for Stepper motor

Thanks...I think.

Does this mean the DC motor would step in 1.8 degree increments or would it
"step" in whatever degree increments you wanted based on the electronics?

How accurate would it be in this regard?

If you could vary the step increments and hold the accuracy, it seems to me
one might just as well forget about using steppers altogether
