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...
I can't imagine you'd get below .001" without some serious changes. .0001" is hard enough on some full size mid range machines.
