    Is there a "minimum velocity" for steppers?

    Running Keling steppers on a G540 drive and emc2 software.

    When I run the feeds down low, the motors do not run at all sometimes. EMC2 say the motors are running but they don't. Is there a minimum feed rate or velocity for stepper motors?

    Nope. Somethings not working right with your setup.
