I can easily imagine a cut in one axis where the other axis is holding against cutting forces, and then after 30 seconds the stationary axis starts to drift. If the 30 seconds applies to all axis, so only when ALL axes are stationary, it is less of a problem, but I still don't like it. In some machines, there is enough wind-up of various viscous drags and sprininess that when the driver shuts off the motors may be pushed back a couple full steps. Then, when the drivers come back on, the motors settle do a different position. UGH!!!
