RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] close loop and stalling

EMC will add additional pulses to the motor that is lagging. My thinking
is this will only make your stalling stepper stall even more and EMC
will "correct" by trying to step the stalled motor faster. Once you get
enough steps off from commanded you get a fault.
