I think if this was built as a rigid gantry system versus held by hands and then also improved the detail/resolution of the "reading" it could work on production machines. The .001" level easily achievable, .0001" much harder.

The hackaday community doesn't quite understand engineering tolerances/precision. A comment in post discussing this router mentioned that .003" tolerance required temperateure, humidity control, etc...
