Is 750mA enough to get the needed torque?
How about for the extruder motor on a geared extruder? That should take much less torque, I'd think.

... depends on the stepper you have - i have some NEMA23 and NEMA17 steppers labeled with 12Volts/0.3Amps or 24Volts/0.4Amps, so here it would be enough.

But the best steppers i have (in respect of max. speed) are designed for lower voltages and currents from 1 to 3 Amps ... here it won't be enough power for the specified torque.

But if you find some 1Amp-stepers with high torque, then maybe the lower torque at 0.75Amps will be enough for your application ... but you have to atach big coolers to the chips ...
