Just to pick up on this one point - "If you have a good machine, of small size, closed loop is totally unnecessary". If you doubt that go to my website and take a look at some of the stuff I have made. OK I can improve on all of it by using higher resolution, smaller cutting tools etc etc but no improvement would be gained by me using closed loop.
The debate between servo's and steppers will go on forever and it is "horses for courses". Mach has proved to be good for driving both.

Seems that some folks are just finding a way to say that closed loop is a waste of time.
