Not finished in those but I'll try to grab some later today.
Most of the time you will hear it if it misses steps. The toolpath will not be true if this happens. You could use dual shaft steppers and put encoders on them and get a board from Ron Rogers of Rogers Machine. It will fault if the deveation is too great. I don't know if anyone is using it with the SS though. Might want to research that a little first. Also could use servos that will fault if out of posotion with some drives. Getting the right combination of motors and gearing can be a challenge. All systems should have 100% saftey factor designed in. Meaning the motors, drives, ect. can produce twice as much power as will ever be needed in any given situation. Of course, none of us do that. We all get as much as possible out of them. You'll just have to find your comfort zone as far as that goes.

how do you know when your machine misses steps will it mess up the final design or can you hear it?

Unless of course the pinto has a huge motor and a governor. In that case the SS would take the governor off. LOL
