    AGAIN! Does a stepper lose torque with microstepping?

    The article at the top of this section does not answer this at all openly.

    Does full step provide more torque than 1/8 step?

    Yes, you lose torque.

    See Hoss's page here for details:

    The page a little misleading. The table shows how much torque is required to push the motor 1 microstep out of position. The motor still develops its rated when it is one full step out of position. This is the same point a full stepped motor develops its rated torque.
